Just realized my color matching changed after I lost my salon lighting

So last month I was working late at the shop and the main lights blew out, leaving just the dim over-sink bulbs. I had to finish a root touch-up on a regular client and I guessed the shade by feel and memory alone. When she came back this week, the color looked almost perfect, but I noticed my mixing ratios had shifted without me paying attention. Turned out I'd been overcompensating with warm tones because my old lighting made everything look cooler than it really was. That got me thinking, how many of us actually check our color work under daylight or different bulbs? Has anyone else had their matching go weird after changing their station setup or lighting? I'm curious if it's just me or a common thing in this trade.
