For example, in an enviroment where there is less white , the colors tend to have a yellow tint ( e.g. grass is green and the white will be either yellow or green tint..).
You can avoid this by using manual white balance. Take a white sheet of paper as a reference for the camera, then selece manual white balance.Put the paper in front of the lens and now the camera should adjust the settings correctly . You can take the picture with the correct colors.
See example below:
Here we have the white balance set to sunny. The colors are warm, but white at the window is actually kind of yellow.
Here we have the correct balance.!!! Notice the difference of the 2 pictures. White balance can change your pics a lot.
Shooting in raw, you don't really need to worry about the white balance, you just adjust it later anyway. If you, however shoot a series at a given location, so the light stays (more or less) the same, it does pay to have a color chart with you. This way, you shoot the chart in the given environment, then do the shoot. Once you start editing, start with the chart and batch convert all the others of this series using the settings from the chart picture. Saves you loads of time :-)
