What is the best way to white balance under florescent light? Will a white card do or should i use a dark or light blue?I have never taped under that circumstance.

Or, they might want as much detail as possible, to direct specifically. I think the message is to remain open and not tied to any outcome as birth can be full of unexpected surprises.
