Cool color cast from B+W Polarizer??

Editing tons of pics from an outdoor MX and noticing my color is consistently cool. Used a mix of daylight and cloudy WB throughout the weekend. Maybe I should have stuck with Auto WB.

Is it possible the polarizer is contributing to a blue tone?

    Yes, sometimes polarizing filters can yield a bluish tint. An improper WB choice is more likely if it's a strong tint.

    If it is from the polarizer then a moderate, global correction should correct all the images within a given hour of shooting. After you notice another color shift, apply another similar global color correction, ... and so on ...

    Yep pretty much how I do it in LR. But I have been wondering if I'm crazy too.
