This will work well with a north window towards the center of a bright day, if you put a large mirror on the dark side of the subject, making sure that the light from the window bounces back into the shadow. I prefer that kind of light to the orange color of the average house lighting. Another possibility is using a flourescent full spectrum light for the fill. I have tried that recently, but the light seems too soft(diffused), and I lose the shadow.
Sharon, a portrait can be done in any color at all. For example black and white, or sepia portraits are common.
