Fuji Astia seems quite neutral.  The new Provia F seem more neutral than its
predecessor.

Among color print films, Konica Impresa 50 is quite neutral and immensely
fine for print film.  I haven't been impressed with the c-prints that come
back from Qualex, but through the scanner it is very impressive, rivaling
many 100 ASA slide films.
