Raw

Are your shots outside or inside? If inside then under what type of lighting? The good news is that being they're RAW files it's most likely easily fixed.

RAW, like JPEG2000, is just a file format. The blue cast comes from the exposure/scene lighting details.

Most of my indoor photos shot with my d7200 in RAW come out with a blue cast. Easy fix for me in Lightroom by just adjusting the white balance. I don't worry about my white balance in camera unless I'm shooting jpeg (which I rarely do) I leave adjustments for post processing.

It's more likely set for incandescent; fluorescents tend to be greenish in hue. (When I was doing indoor film photography I would carry an FLD filter for florescent lighting. If I used it outdoors at noon, I would get a strong magenta color cast)
At the "low end" are sunsets/candles at 1850K; standard incandescent is 2400k; fluorescents (compact to tubular) have a range with the office tubular ones around 5000k.
FWIW, many make the mistake of generically referring to daylight, when it ranges from 1850 for a sunrise/sunset to 6500 to "noon sun"-- and will be different for high altitudes.
Of course, one can just shoot raw and adjust laterÂ… but I prefer to get as close as I can.

As has been said, RAW is not a "format". It is, as it's name implies, ALL (every bit) of the "raw" data as recorded by the sensor. Your camera's White Balance settings DO NOT alter that info in any way. However, the settings info IS contained in the photo's info and the processing software you use to open RAW files CAN apply those presets upon opening the file if you so choose. Whether your software does that by default or not depends on the software, but either way, it IS, or should be a selectable option in your software. Which ever you choose, the actual RAW file is NOT altered.

You are correct but the op was shooting jpeg?

OP said he was trying raw and that's where he was getting he blue cast.
The blue cast is presumably coming out of the conversion program he's using, but he didn't tell us what it was.

I once had the same problem with my d7100. I thought I had white balance set to Auto but discovered that it was set to Incandescent. That will produce a bluish image when shooting in daylight.
