I just got a chance to look at the photos.
Matt is right about the 80A filter. With an 80A, it will get you close to proper color accuracy with most tungsten light sources. Other blue filters will also correct, if you know the color temperature within a tighter range. If you use the more specific ones, you don't lose as much of your lens speed.
Also worth looking into is an 'FLD' filter, which is fluorescent to daylight. Of course there are different colors of fluorescent now, but the filter I had was kind of a mix between pink and peach in color.
Here's a very good link on color correction and other uses of filters.

Here it is in German, though it is probably a sloppy translation. (I had Google do it)
