Carlos,
I'll know more when this latest roll comes back from the  processor.  
I shot a mix of indoors and afternoon shade with various blue and pink  (?) 
filters so we'll see what happens!  
Perhaps I'm color blind which adds to the confusion?
Appreciate your input. 
Health, Peace

Lance,
According my understanding, slide  film and
positive film are different terms to design identical
subject,  positive film is slide when you slide it in
your projector, but slide  became a general use term in
photography to mean positive film,positive as  opposite
regarding negative film, despite positive film could
become  into negative and negative into positive using
crossed processes (C-41 for  slide and E-6 for color
neg), some strange, beautiful or ugly effects  you
could obtain from these crossed processes. Filtration
could be  confusing in shade or without shade and this
is the reason I rarely use  filters with slide film,
except for certain hours of the day, but it does  not
happen for the shade only, it happens for the  sunlight
too.

All the best
Carlos
