Ben, I was particularly pleased by your comment that the "ultra white" did not look right. +1 @ selecting & deciding isn't the easiest task, but ... I think it pays dividends, when warranted.
While I'm a long advocate of determining a neutralizing WB, that doesn't mean that we always want a neutral rendering. But, I find that if I do determine what the neutral WB is, I can mitigate unwanted casts ... THEN (as you did) put the desired flavor of rendering back in (i.e. without the offensive casts / shifts) to present what it is I want to show the world.
Kudos again to you for knowing what you wanted to convey ... and working through to mitigate the detractors that had (initially) come along for the ride. Kinda reminds me of that insurance commercial about "rate suckers". For me, unwanted casts are "color suckers", that steal from our wanted hues and contrasts. Imo, if we first determine a neutralizing WB to lose those unwanted "color suckers", then we are much more freely liberated to land our images where we want them to go ... warm, cool, neutral or wherever.
Again ... kudos.
