Basically, color is what light frequencies are reflected back at you and different light sources will produce different types of light which in turn dictate what colors the camera will see.
For example, if you're taking a picture in a room with a fluorescent light the picture will lean towards blue so you can change your white balance to warm it up and give it a natural balanced look.
If you're using a desk lamp that gives off soft yellow light then you can compensate by making the camera more sensitive to cooler colors and the result will be a natural color balance
White balance and the exposure triangle can be a little confusing but once it clicks you'll be good to go.
If you're still not satisfied or if something still won't come out right then just correct it in post. I don't care what the ACBA says about Photoshop or Lightroom. Any actual photographer will tell you post is just part of the process--- always has been.
It's literally the modern day equivalent of developing film. DSLRs don't take negatives, they take in raw color information and then combine them all together which will initially look sort of washed out and grey. Its up to you to "develop" the image in post and dictate what colors are accented and which aren't--- just like how people used to (and still do) in darkrooms
The ACBA's stance on not doing any post is the equivalent of a woodworker building a chair but not sanding or staining it. It just produces an unfinished and product which a lot of American collectors see as they way to do things and they in turn start developing bad habits jut because the ACBA said thats how you're supposed to do things even though they don't know any better.
