Wired has posted a quick review of the ColorRight white balance tool.
Results in the field are fantastic; we had no issue with balancing various hues up perfectly. And though it may sound a bit complicated to work through, it’s not – once you nail the process it takes mere seconds to dial the right color balance.

Thanks for the link, I’ve been waiting for a few in depth reviews of this tool – looks promising. We have a skating rink here in town when the sodium vapour lights “pulsate” destroying the most careful colour balance. I don’t think this tool will help.
The tool will definitely help, however, to ensure you don’t get caught in an “off cycle” of the light make sure to lower your shutter speed below 1/80th of a second when taking the measurement and when taking the final shot.
This also applies to some fluorescent lighting as well.
