What was your white balance set to? Normally, tungsten lightbulbs (standard bulbs found in most homes) tend to make a scene look more orange to your camera than normal. The tungsten White Balance setting (lightbulb icon) adds more blue to the image to balance the colors to look more normal. Some newer lightbulbs, like GE's "Reveal" bulbs, are closer to natural light and don't require as much blue to be added to balance the colors. If your camera was set to the tungsten White Balance (or set to Auto White Balance and it chose Tungsten), it may have added more color correction than was needed for your particular lights. You should be able to correct these images in your editing program by adjusting the color temperature until the background is white again. If you take more pictures in that room, you can use a custom white balance to avoid having to correct them afterwards. Check your camera manual for specific info on doing this. Have fun, Chris A.
