I would not be inclined to use any sort of color filter these days. Shoot it as natural as possible and fix things afterwards if need be. Filters on the camera lose data.

(Note: I'm not objecting to all filters. Polarizers act on information that's not recorded in the frame and thus couldn't be fixed afterwards. Neutral density filters simply let you use a slower shot to introduce motion blur into a shot that otherwise wouldn't have it. UV filters likewise have an effect that isn't recorded in the film in the first place. If you can't shoot multiple shots then I can see a reason for a graduated neutral density filter.)
