The Expo Disc rocks!! I use it for video everyday. But for stills i use the kelvin color scale. When you shoot a lot you start to see the light you are working with for the color shades that it really is, not necessarily taking all light and assuming that it is all white.
If the room is tungsten lighting, you will have a bit more orange in your shot. If the lights are day light balanced or you are lit by the sun, you can get a touch more on the blue side.
The sun is roughly 5400 kelvin, if you use lower number settings, you will get a cooler, bluer look. If you use higher number settings 6000+ you will get a warmer look.
Kelvin is great to get the exact skin tone or lighting look you want.
