Neither your camera or your skill - it can be the devil's own job getting the colour right - and some modern cameras think they know better and try to "correct" it - or even worse "improve" it!.  The professionals include a colour reference strip when getting it absolutely right is important - then the art editors come along and demand changes in the colour balance....

I think malwodyn had it right.  Standard florescent lighting has a yellow color (colour for you brits!).  To correct this you would shift the exposure to the opposite direction on the color wheel, which would be to increase the purple shading.  Seems your camera got a little carried away with it's color correction function.
