Classic Chrome - white balance different between blog post and pdf

I’m new to using the film simulations and I’m trying to setup Classic Chrome. I’m confused about what white balance I should be using. In the pdf it says 4400k whereas a blog post from last year set it to 3800k. I think 3800k seemed closer to Classic Chrome from Fuji.

Can you help me understand what’s the correct values? I haven’t checked other recipes yet for any differences between the blog post and the pdf.

Also, what’s the best way of having a quick access to picture profiles and the white balance. Is the best solution to set them in memory slots and recall?

Thanks, in the mean time should I use the white balance settings from the pdf or the blog post?

If you feel the old White balance is closer, then use that one. But anyhow, remember you need to adjust your kelvin according to the time of the day, or the situations that you're in.

If you are situated in the shade, you might raise the kelvin by 500 to compensate with the light, if you are at sunset, you might lower by 1000 kelvin to balance out the warm tones. Or maybe you don't, depending on what kind of colors you want to get straight out of camera.

Adjusting kelvin on the go reduces the amount of color grading needed afterward.
