Can you set the white balance on your camera? Check the manual, what model camera is it?

If you have a whitebalance option on your camera you can adjsut it to compensate. Lots of camera's have auto funtions for this, with outdoor/indoor/low light, etc settings. try different settings and see what you get. On my Nikon i can use macro mode then change the whitebalance to make the lights look half decent, play with it, see what you get.
