Color analyzers assume 18% gray ( the same as you light meter ) so if the print has a predominate color, or is white on black the operator has to be able to correct. See this months Peterson's Photographic for article on 1 hr color labs. Now the big boys use a video system where the operator sees the final color balance before printing. A good operator and one of those can do a great job. -Bryan Lyles (allegra or seismo)!rochester!bryan
