Colour correction - question

Just a quick question about peoples views on colour correction and more specifically magic bullet looks. I'm working on a timelapse edit currently, based mainly on clouds. Ive experimented briefly to see what some of the set looks look like applied to the cloud shots. Basic warm seems to work quite well but im not sure whether i should use this same set look throughout the edit to keep some sort of continuity or whether i should mix it up. I know its personal preference but i was just wondering what NS's views were on this. Any help would be much appreciated.

you aren't doing color correction, what you are talking about is color grading. Big difference. Grading is when, after you've corrected your colors, you apply color filters and what not on top of the clips. Its usually best apply the same grade to all the clips at once, and keep it the same. Having it vary is usually a big turn off for most people. At least for me it is.
