Flash would work on your camera, if you had a remote system with the TL system I think it called; Tungsten lights are your home lights the ORangeish ones.

Try One light source then, if its all tungsten put it on AWB then take a picture of an ALL WHITE surface or an (18% gray card if you have one you can buy them online) then it will calibrate all your colors.

Once you've shot a picture of an all white wall go to WB settings, and choose custom white balance find the picture with the white wall and press okay, you should be good to go for better shots.

OR as I always do is play around with my Kelvin temperature until I get something I wnat!
