Absolutely!  I can understand that photographers whose job it is to 
photograph clothing for catalogues or examples of paint swatches or 
furniture need to balance their colors exactly, but for personal work 
anything goes!  I like warmer people and cooler forests.  I like Velvia 
landscapes and Astia people.  With PhotoKit Color you can try all kinds of 
layers of color.  Most look acceptable until you put them next to each other!
