Oftentimes it might be a bit tricky to achieve the right White Balance, especially when shooting jpg. I usually shoot RAW and try to get the color temperature as close as possible in Adobe Camera RAW.
For this tutorial I purposely introduced a slight yellow-ish warm cast to the image.
Oftentimes, it's hard to find a neutral spot for using the mid-gray picker in the curves or levels... the goal is to make this image as neutral as possible with the least amount of work.
First we make a duplicate via "duplicate layer":
which should look like this:
now, select the top layer and run the Filter>blur>average filter, which gives us some ugly looking brown mess like this:
