Default Raw pics looking awful please help

Hello, just a quick question.

I own a Nikon D90, my first dSLR and have had it for a couple of months. Over the last couple of days i have noticed that my RAW photos appear to have a deep green tinge and very bland colours. They just look really poor quality.

What im thinking i have done is changed a setting somewhere along the lines. If i shoot RAW plus jpeg, the jpegs look perfect, and the RAW horrible. Please help.

Damian

I just took these pictures outside the house quick to show what i mean.

If the jpgs are good, but the raw isn't, it's probably a software issue?

What software are you using?

Are you processing the photos? The white balance doesn't even match in those two. Check your WB tint (set with the front command dial).

Im guessing the RAW development software is stripping away some of the in-camera settings before displaying the image,
