Interesting... I don't recall having a color cast problem. Here's three I
shot which do not have a color cast, at least not to my eyes.

However, after doing a little googling around, it's apparent that others
feel as you do Jack... I still wonder if it's more of a processing issue...
Just one of many sites:

It's that consistent bothersome "color cast" that caused myself and a
number of like responders to end our use of the film some time back.
I use Provia 100F and my favorite, Astia 100F. Much closer to what my
fuzzy eyes like.
