Just tried the open shade/tungsten comparison on two 2200 B&W prints 
(archival matte, printed with the enhanced matte-PK profile).  Under tungsten I 
can see a very slight (really slight) purple cast overall and in open shade the 
prints look neutral to warm, but not green.  Under strong halogen lighting or in 
bright sun I can see some slight magenta/green color crossover in some 
areas of the prints.
