I have the same issue with color cast at times even in my studio which should be far more controlled. Sometimes I try to correct it and sometimes I like it just the way it is even though it may not be correct in the eyes of many. I also intentionally blow out areas for effect in post processing and will receive critiques about it, but unless the critiques are really harsh they are useful to make sure I stay within reasonable boundaries..

I think the two originals are closer to what my eye might see in that situation and I appreciate the photograph more since it is warmer and to me more like i might expect. The second two are as the others said cold and far less appealing to me.

I do not thin that any of us will reach our potential if we stick rigidly to any rule but it is important o know and understand the basics and it is important to learn as you are by seeking alternatives where you are troubled. In this case the alternatives do not seem to be the answer you seek but you may find another solution to suit your intentions.

Good post and good question by the way

I do not get to shoot outside enough so this one has issues too but with this shot I used a gold refector to ""ADD"" warmth to an already warm glow from the sun.
