  1) shoot image with grey card
  2) open levels... select grey point and select the most neutral point on the grey card you can find. this will get you close.
  3) adjust by eye.

  a grey card will only get you close to true colour. anything in the environment of the photo will effect colour balance. ie: if the floor in the room you're shooting in is a warm wood tone, it will warm up your shot (and change the colour of your grey card). if you're shooting in the woods, the leaves of the trees will shift everything green. etc.

  it's not really a science but the grey card will give you a good starting point for colour correction.
