Thanks Eric, another tip for my edufication! I rarely, if ever, touch the tint settings in Lightroom (usually a last resort when all else fails!!!) but I will give it a try next time.
I have often wondered about varying the channel swap slightly to influence the final tones especially the sky. Perhaps my Victoria sponge of layers needs the channels switching slightly differently for each layer. Bit more blue for the sky etc... Just to help things along.
Sorry forgot to mention my starting point.
I found that starting from the default d200 settings left the converted image more in the cyan/ green area of blue as the starting (opposite) colour is this slightly red/magenta hue.
By shifting the tint closer to yellow you are instead starting from the complimentary colour of blue.
The interesting thing is that you don't actually need to calibrate the camera WB. If you just shoot on auto...then set the temperature to 2000 and the tint to -80 it should give you same result.
I just remembered this discovery.... I should do this on Fuji!!!!!!!!!!!
