I will use them for photography only. I don't yet have any color correction plans as I have yet to receive them and experiment. If they do turn out to be a little yellow, then I will likely compensate for it in my painting process. I use photos mainly to help me nail the values of the piece and to aid in composition. I try to match flesh tones directly to the live subject where possible.
