color cast

Photo's tinted bias

A color cast is an unwanted tint that shifts all colors in an image toward a particular hue.

Photographs taken under fluorescent lighting may have a greenish cast; tungsten bulbs produce an orange cast.

Color casts result from mismatched white balance, film chemistry, or aging prints.

Digital editing tools can correct them: I removed the yellow color cast from the old family photos.
