I'm no camera guru, but I have had my fair share of experience with off-colored pictures. How do you have the white balance set? I usually keep my WB on auto, but sometimes get better pics if I actually set it manually.

you should have something in your camera menu for changing the white balance to tungsten or whatever kind of lights you have in your bathroom... I usually just shoot in RAW so that I can color correct in Photoshop...

some people have a grey card that you can use to set the white balance on your camera... but you have to reset it every time your lighting changes.

I had the WB set for tungsten, but to me they still look yellow....maybe it is something I can just fix in PS?

You can try Auto Color, Auto Tone in PS to correct.

On camera I very seldom will use Tungsten but do try out the other settings. About 80% of the time I just keep it on AWB.

[heathergw]

are your ceilings true white? What color are your bathroom walls?

and yeah, I keep mine at AWB too

Inside I use a grey card usually...I shoot in RAW though and usually don't sweat it too much and just correct it in lightroom

I'd check your WB and if that's not it, just cool it off. I use PW's to Warm or Cool ALL the time. It works GREAT.

$5.50 and will save you hours of editing time. Unless you're a space cadet like me and forget to use it. Even if you don't set the custom WB in your camera, just take a picture of this (with not much else in the frame) before your shots. Take another one when lighting conditions change. Then you can use your dropper tool in LR and copy and paste the WB throughout. Probably can find a way to do that in other programs too.
