I did a two camera shoot [back: Sony HDR-HC3 (HD), side of stage: DCR-PC110 (SD)] and as I cut between the two tracks on the timeline I've noticed the dancers' dresses are a nice purple on the HD track and gray on the SD track. It's totally noticeable.
Is it fairly simple to use Vegas Movie Studio to somehow increase the blue gain on the SD track so the dresses look more consistent--more purple than gray? I've never attempted to so something this sophisticated before.

Movie Studio has a nice color correction tool in the FX toolbox. This can be used to set the light, mid and dark tones. Unfortunately, it lacks the secondary color correction tool which is available in the pro version of Vegas.
However, a free plugin is available for color correction that also works well in Movie Studio:
