Not if you are trying to lower exosure, if there are blown highlights

But even ignoring that case it is far easier to make the adjustments
using the raw file then jpeg. It is not all that uncommon to want to
set the color adjustment the same on a large number of photos in a row,
this is very easy to do using raw, far easier then trying to do the
same thing with the jpeg files.

Why not balance the colour when you take the picture? That's what I do.
There are a lot of lighting conditions that call for a custom white
balance. In the past I would use white reference and use the cameras
custom white balance function to get it right. But this takes time
while I am shooting and I often don't have that kind of time, it is
much easier to shoot in the closest preset white balance mode and
adjust as needed.

And sometimes it is just not practical to use a white reference, like
when you are shooting through the windshield of a car as one example.

If you are shooting through the windshield of a car, curved, distorting,
covered in bugs you may as well shoot JPG with a P&S camera.

Darn it. You beat me to the answer.
