several years ago I put on an after market battery pack and I too noticed a thin haze of blue/white on several photos. Thought a setting was on florescent, it was not. Also had problems with aftermarket batteries in the battery grip.
A member here told me to Reset the camera setting to default. I did and everything went away and I have been using the D3200 very well since!
After the default settings, I then went back to the previous settings I had before.
Might try setting back to default, see what happens.

I have tried to change the settings to move the green effect but have not had much luck in camera-have been able to do it in PP but would like to not have to do this, especially with portraits. This maybe due to the processor in the camera with jpegs -otherwise am happy with the photos. Even using the white card does not get rid of a slight green tint. Any ideas?

You did not give any information whatsoever about how and where you took those pictures, you need to explain that if you want some advice on what to do different!!

I had a similar issue when I had sent my D7100 to Nikon for another issue; the unit came back and all my shots had a greenish shade. I contacted Nikon immediately, they told me to return it ASAP. I have no idea what they did but the matter got corrected to my satisfaction.

It will work...

Modern cameras have very sophisticated white balance systems in them. IF you use the right type of reference target, you can set manual exposure and custom white balance for EXCELLENT color and exposure under controlled lighting conditions. The Nikon procedure for setting custom white balance IS a bit tricky, however.

That camera does an excellent job of in-camera JPEG processing — if you know what to set in the menus, and how to set a "custom" white balance correctly (Nikon usually calls that preset white balance.). The only time it fails (other than through user error) is under discontinuous spectra lights, such as sodium vapor or mercury vapor, and cheap office fluorescents when they are used with shutter speeds higher than the power line frequency.

It sounds like it is time to read the manual thoroughly, three to six times. Think I'm joking? I'm not... There is a wealth of information there.

The first time through, it's probably a head-scratcher. Play with your settings — a LOT, after the first reading — and make tests, photographing the same subject many times under controlled lighting. VARY each menu setting on the camera while leaving the others at their defaults. You can use image metadata to identify the settings, but it's easier if you identify the setting by putting a card in each frame. Repeat the process. Watch Tony Northrup's video on your camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=fmWBW8aZSS0. Play some more. Examine your tests to see the effects of various menu settings. Read the manual again. It will all come together!

It occurs whenever I shoot in whatever mode but does not appear to effect the final jpeg-so it's a non problem except on the camera screen. A common thing I guess and not a big issue in the computer transfer. As they say in the movie frozen-Let it go!
