What I do with colour cast problems :-

1) check the voltage (with no aerial signal) on the collector of all three video output transistors (on the crt base) they should be +-5v of each other if one is different, then swap over this transistor with one of the other two and if color changes, its the transistor, If not then I use a 2k-4k wirewound and touch it from each collector to chassis in turn, and watch the screen (I use a mirror) each color should be equally bright with flyback lines, if not its probably the tube (CRT) faulty.

2) If all of tests are ok, then I find the three wires coming up from the the main pcb to the crt base panel and swap over the green/red and see if the color cast changes
If yes then its the chip on the main board, If no its on the crt base board, so check values of all the resistors there.
