Mostly yes but it also depends. What happens is exactly that, there will be a clipping in the color band(s) you are correcting for.

This can easily be verified with a simple thought experiment: imagine an area is almost completely red. This area will have to be complemented with full blast of green and blue to even achieve white, or partial blast of green and blue to achieve gray.
