It's from the lights outside. You can either adjust your white balance settings, or adjust in post-processing. You can also try shooting in RAW and correcting the color when you process.

We don't have the best street lights here. Thanks.
I had the W/B on auto. Should I try tungsten or flourescent?
Looks as though you have either High pressure sodium street lighting or low pressure sodium lighting. Usually the color temp is around 2000K. If you have a way to manually set the white balance temp, you might try starting at 1900K and take a few test shots going up to even around 2700K then make a note for those type lamps for the future. Tungsten lamps are around 2800K if I remember correctly.
Darn, I think I have been an Electrician for too long, I knew this stuff off the top of my head.

IDK Bydand, these street lights have been up longer than I've been alive. Not quite "gas lights", but maybe close on. You sound as tech as my bro. (lol)
