Until yesterday, I never thought of using flash gels. All I cared was the colour temperature on my subjects and not so much the background. When shooting indoors with incandescent lights, I never saw a problem with the background being a little orange. It adds some warmth to the picture. However, after chatting with a work colleague, I think I will give gels a try now.
The idea with the gels is to make the effective flash light output (which is daylight balanced, naked) similar to the ambient light and with the camera's white balance set to match the ambient light, everything (and not just the subject) would be well balanced. The next time I do indoor shooting, I will remember to bring the gels with me.
