TUNGSTEN FILM - Film that is color-balanced for illumination from tungsten light. Also known as "Type B" color film.
Tungsten film. Color film that has been balanced to produce colors that look natural when exposed in tungsten light, specifically light of 3200 K color temperature.

Second, use Tungsten film. this is normally used to compensate for indoor shots where "tungsten lights" (normal lamps, etc) are too warm (red/orange). Tungsten film shifts towards blue to balance things out. Again, perfect for sky shooting.
Tungsten film usually produces slides with too much blue or green when made with fluorescent light. As discussed in chapter 3, the use of filters for color photography helps to overcome the deficiency of red light in fluorescent lamps.
Tungsten film is used under studio lights, known as hot lights (because they get real hot), which use tungsten filaments. These are similar to, but not the same as regular incandescent light.
Film is made for specific light sources (most commonly daylight film and tungsten film), and used properly, will create a neutral color print.
For film cameras, professional photographers have a choice of films designed for different colour temperatures, the common ones being daylight and tungsten films.
If you're using a film camera instead of a digital one, you can use tungsten film that is designed for professional studio lights.
Not only is the colour and black and white but also portrait films, tungsten films, daylight films and so on. What a lot of us are used to is consumer grade film that tries to balance all of these in to one.

I used both daylight and tungsten film to capture the ornate interior, and I thought the daylight film rendition was better. The exaggerated yellow-orange color warmed up the entire lobby and made it more inviting.
Let's assume the light from the flash unit is 5500K and the tungsten film wants 3200K light. These are 182 mired and 312 mired respectively, so the difference we want to make up is about +130 mired, our mired shift value.
Tungsten: Looks white to us, looks orange in photos unless you select Tungsten film, an 80A filter or tungsten White Balance.
Mercury: Looks bluish-white to us. Looks green in photos.
If you use daylight film under tungsten light the images will be very yellow. If you use tungsten film in daylight the images will be very blue.
If he has a tungsten film in the camera and he want to snap some shots in daylight he will use an amber filter (for example 85B). And even the lights in a studio have known and written color temperature...
there are daylight films, tungsten films, and films designed for other light sources). If there is a mismatch between the film and the light source, corrections need to be made, or inaccurate colors will result.
When color temperature measurement is less critical, these can be an effective alternative and are certainly easier to use. These are the digital equivalent of choosing between daylight and tungsten film but with a few extra choices thrown in for ...
Tungsten film shot outdoors gives a blue cast. If you’re shooting digitally, play with the white balance settings in the camera or shoot in RAW and experiment with the white balance in camera raw.
