Yes, there is a cast with some whites...you will have to experiment. The 
effect of the filter on film is not always predictable. The photo lab may 
will respond if you tell them that the filter is used, but I have found that 
its effect is best seen with chromes. Non-red colors are, as he told me, 
largely neutral although I am positive that the filter has a polarizing 
effect and so the other colors colors are enriched not enhanced. Remember - 
everything in the red spectrum is enhanced so yellows are also richer, 
oranges, etc. 
I also forgot, the old agfachrome (it had a kind of pastel palate) was 
beautiful when enhanced. I'm sorry that Agfa opted for the "american" punched 
up colors. I likes the old stuff better. Yes it was grainey, but the colors 
were more subtle.
