Another possibility is you are taking your pictures under water. Below 30' all the warmer tones start to disappear. At 90' or so everything is a shade of blue.
Or, maybe it's the white balance. :)

Thanks, in RAW how do I assign the correct white balance?
If you are using Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw with either elements or photoshop, there is a white balance and color balance adjustment - it gives you some presets, or you can manually adjust both yellow-blue (white balance) and green-magenta ( color balance or tint). Or you can use the white balance eye dropper to find something that out to be pure white or gray. 90% of the time, if it is a portrait and the white of the eye is showing, you can get an accurate WB sample from that. If you are using other programs to do raw conversion I am certain that they will have a similar function.
The Lightroom/ACR WB adjustment offers the following:
As shot
Auto
Daylight
Cloudy
Shade
Tungsten
Fluorescent
Flash
Custom
When you grab the sliders, it automatically defaults to custom.

Nikon D300 and yes it could be my white balance however I try to set it for the conditions I am shooting.
You are probably better off in most cases using Auto than guessing. One exception might be sunsets. They often don't do so well on Auto and daylight is much better.
Or you can shoot in RAW and adjust it easily as you please in post processing.

You only get the presets with RAW (including DNG) images. With jpegs you only get a couple of choices. You then need to use the eyedropper or sliders.

Yep, tungsten white balance.
