Never the less the WB is the problem (I know because I d/l the pic and corrected it, much as Erm (I think) did in the other thread.
The colour temperature of the light is effected my many variables - in this case probably reflections from the stone walls.
The WB setings on you camera are just generic corrections for a number of common light temperatures, labled to give you an idea what they are for.
Take tungsten bulbs for instance - different wattages of bulb give different colour light, and all of them give a warmer light when dimmed. Fluorescents are even worse with different ones giving off completely different colours.
Take a picture lit with tungsten light in a blue painted room and things get really complicated....
The trick is (if shooting jpg) to read the light and make a guess at the right setting. Or, even beter take a reference shot of a grey card and use that to set a custom WB (see your camera manual)
Otherwise, the easy way is to shoot in RAW, take a few reference shots of he grey card and set the WB to that when you convert to jpg.
