This looks like a job for Renttax Camera Repair!

Follow-up:
I went ahead and used both cameras today. Same strange color balance in the
camera A jpg's.
To better explain what I am talking about, here is a screen shot taken while
downloading into Lightroom. The thumbnails shown have not yet had LR generate a
preview and it's own version of a thumbnail based on the DNG. The first 7 of 8
thumbnails shown were taken in fairly rapid sequence as I was following five
small boats across the scene, trying to get a shot with a good juxtoposition of
the five boats and the lager sailing vessel behind. So all seven shots had the
same shooting parameters. You can see the color variation in the thumbnnails.

I did wash the camera with cold water prior to using it (;-)> and I did check all
settings to verify that I have no "color filters" or other offending choices
activated.

Not a biggie since i haven't lost anything yet, but this was a bit disturbing...
So I carry two K-3's, A and B. A is used more often, it hangs from a wrist
strap. B stays in the backpack or sometimes around my neck if I am switching
back and forth between wide and long for example. I occasionally chimp,
primarily to check the RGB histograms to make sure I haven't inadvertently
changed a setting and put myself out of range. Today on my A camera I was
noticing a strange color cast on the LCD. After a few more shots I became
convinced that something was wonky, switched to the B camera and went on.
I just downloaded the shots from camera A via Lightroom. As long as Lightroom
was displaying thumbnails based on the in-camera jpg rendering, the color
balance was way off still. But once LR rendered previews, built from the RAW
data, everything looks just fine. So, the jpg portion of my K-# processor has a
random variable color-balance problem, but the basic DNG capture is just fine.
To be clear, there is not a consistent color balance bias toward too much green
in the jpg's for example. Rather, it is off in a random way for each shot.
Since I only shoot DNG and don't capture jpeg's in parallel, the good news here
far outweighs the bad. But still unsettling...
