Not so much anymore.  Some film and even some digital cameras can still 
register fluorescents as greenish, but that's an artifact of the imaging

<spit-take> Not even close.  Typical incandescent color temperature is 
around 3000K depending on the bulb wattage; straight-up sunlight is 
close to 6000K, which is about what electronic flashes/strobes produce.

These days, user-selectable.  It was so even in the CRT era among 
higher-end products.
