Q3, White Balance Question - my images are very blue

Hello fellow users, 

I have recently purchased a Q3 (upgrade from my 2016 Q1) and there is something I really struggle with. 

The images have a strong blue colour/hue to it, especially in low light and around sunrise (which I love to photograph) - see attached image which I took this morning. 

I have played around with the white balance options, but it only makes a small difference: blue remains. 

I can 'fix' it in Lightroom, but that is tedious and I would prefer a solution more straight out of the camera. 

Apologies if all that sounds very amateurish, but would appreciate some pointers/help. 

Many thanks, 
Thomas

WB set to Tungsten, either in  the camera or in the raw developer. 
If that is not the case, reset the camera to factory settings.

Alternatively, revel in what's often known as "the blue hour” and make the most of it. I love the light at that time of day.

What are your actual settings? 

What WB setting?

What data format? RAW or JPG?

I only use RAW and keep WB to auto on my Q3. No Problem whatsoever. There are a few occasions when I need to adjust WB in LR but very rarely.
