How to compensate for video setting blunder

I recorded a video with the white balance set to a flourescent light setting, but I was actually recording from inside a shed with a lot of natural lighting. While it did have a slightly bluish tint in the tiny display of my GoPro, it didn't really bother me UNTIL I got it onto my monitor and I see now that it is pretty blue.
So, aside from not paying attention to my lighting settings in my camera, I'm also new to Photoshop and After Effects. I'm posting here in the AE community in hopes that someone here would have some thoughts about how to adjust my video so that it isn't quite so blue without losing too much from the rest of the colors. Refering to the final frame in the attached video, the metal plate that runs from the bottom left to near the center of the frame is steel gray and reflective. It runs to a white board that forms the frame for a doorway, and it appears blue. Just to the left of the vertical door frame, there are shadows that have a distinct blue tint. Moving farther to the left, there are two ladders; the one in front is aluminum (aluminium), and the dark blue areas are supposed to be shadows. The only thing in this picture that is blue correctly is the sky, and it is not supposed to be quite THAT blue.
Thank you in advance for any advice on removing the blue in this video. (I already have a note-to-self to check the camera's video settings in the future.)
