Yes I have, and I know from experience that for the best possible result you
NEED to do a custom white balance, and do it according to the Manf.
recommendations, Canon recommends using a white paper, I also know from
experience that you get better results from Canon cameras (The only ones I
own) if you use white and not an 18% gray card as recommended by some.
Now for your test you will need to use some really off white balance don't
just use auto, which by the way does a pretty decent job, just not as good
as a custom.
In my earlier post said I believe I read it in digital photo pro, I will
have to try and find it again, this came out some months ago, I thought
every one already knew about this "problem".
I am curious though, just because they call it RAW or NEF or what ever what
would lead some one to believe that there was no real color data contained
in the file, nothing can just magically be what ever we want it to be, if
that where the case why cant we just go out and shoot then go back to the
computer and decided what speed it should have been shot at? There has to be
some information given to the camera/computer in the first place and as you
know garbage in = garbage out.

All I can say is look it up or better yet try it your self!
Where could I look it up to get your answer? Everywhere I've seen
agrees with Jeff -- and the very definition of "RAW" says Jeff should
be right.
Have *you* tried it yourself? You've got me curious, so I'm about to,
and should have something to report shortly.
