Thanks

Usually for outdoor portraits AWB is fine and dandy, but if you miss with the manual white balance it cna either end up blue or red outdoors in sunlight.
In the white balance menu just set it to AWB and you should be good. With manual you'll want to adjust it every time you move from one spot to the next as you're shooting. Also, what lens are you shooting, some lenses have a warmer image tone that you'll have to get used to.
Also are you shooting in SRGB or AdobeRGB? Selecting Adobe tends to make things a little red since it increases the number of available values in the red channel mostly.
Honestly there are too many variables for color casts, and the red channel is the first to go with skin on certain skin types because it's made up of white and red. What you're seeing is one reason I can't shoot Canon because in the standard modes people are too magenta and I hate magenta tones. To remove it in Canon you have to shoot faithful which makes the pics lack contrast and depth.
Nikon is better in this respect as they tend to have much more natural colors just like Pentax.
Hope this helps and since you shoot in RAW it's always fixable.
