I know where to do it in Photoshop.  Can color correction be done in Lightroom?

Between white balance, tint and the HSL panel, you can make it look almost anyway you want. The HSL panel is very powerful. You can also tone the highlights and shadows differently and adjust the balance between the two.

I agree with the HSL, even though I learned to use it in Photoshop and like the mask that comes with it. Good advice above....

Why so serious?

There are a few different ways to go about it - like shadowfixer mentioned, it usually takes a combination of white balance, tint, and HSL panel tools to get exactly what you want. My suggestion is that you play around a little bit and try to discover how each one works to find out what plan of attack works best for you.

The advice here is really accurate, but I much prefer to use Photoshop for any color correction necessary. Just goes much quicker and it feel much less clumsy.

My sentiments exactly. I prefer Photoshop over Lightroom any day.

To each their own, but I prefer to do it in Lightroom. I'm not sure how it can be called clumsy in Lightroom. It's actually pretty simple and smooth and in fact is done the exact same way unless you are talking about using other techniques on images that require super heavy correction.
