If I use an older lens from my dads analogue Nikon the colours are perfect and the pictures are sharper.... too sharp.
The cheap kit lens are cheapo
Try to use preset whitebalance - refer to manual. Don't forget to reset it, you'll find wrong preset worse than auto WB a bit off. If the lightning conditions change (colorbalance of the light), reset the preset or switch to auto .
It'll improve when you buy a real lens.
