It's the lighting. You need to adjust the white balance, there should be a tungsten setting that should work for that kind of lighting.

Here's a link that shows examples of white balance changes: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/whit...e-examples.htm

There should be settings in the options, or you could do it with post processing software.

Read the manual that came with your camera.

If you only have pre-set white balance icons, tungsten will give you a cool, bluish tint-this is because the setting is studio tungsten, (3400Kelvin), but domestic tungsten is between 2500k and 3200k. best, if you are unable to manually adjust White balance, is to use auto white balance, and fix in post processing.
