Agreed. When I introduced the enlargers (4x5)’s, to the brick and mortar store we once had,
I did the printing. My employees said my colors were off. WAY off. They were all correct.
Machine printing is all they knew. And they were all excellent!
Today, all digital.
Point is, me. I am not good at noticing slight changes in color. Wondered if, for me, coffee did
or did not make a difference.
I make previews, proofs, or whatever one wants to label them, and client tells me what to change in the colors.
Cheers
David

Also, there is chromatic adaption, color constancy, or discounting the illuminant, an example is the use of a tungsten light bulb. This type of light is very warm from say 2800K to 3200K and yet we see it as white light. If you shoot daylight film however with tungsten light, the result is a very warm photograph.

At least it should’t exaggerate an unwanted color cast because you are starting from a known condition that is, shall we say, “neutral.”
