Colour cast with ND110 filter?

I've starting using the ND110 and have noticed a warm colour cast to my images, I'm shooting RAW and my camera has the ability to dial in a manual colour temperature, or a white ballance shift (EOS 7D) so I'm really just wondering if other ND110 users have had this problem, and how they shift it? Is there a set amount of degrees Kelvin I should adjust images by?

Many thanks

Update:

Fhotoace, the colour cast from the (very expensive) B+W ND110 is a known issue.

I was really looking for somebody who was familiar with the filter to answer, that clearly isn't you.

Update 2:

N.B. What effect do you think a 10 stop ND filter will have on exposure time? Extend it by a multiplication of 1024x? Exactly. So using a grey card isn't really an option.

Answers welcome from anybody who actually uses the filter.

Update 3:

Hi Arun, would you happen to know what the actual shift is that is required for this filter? The B+W ND110?

Update 4:

Thanks Edwin, unfortunately I'm using a mac so this software won't run.

    That got me looking back on my stock photos! I use the B&W ND110 on a Nikon D300 + 18-200mm combo. I've had a good browse throguh stuff shot with it & can't see any colour cast, warm or otherwise.

    This is totally unscientific but could you take a series of test shots & adjust the WB manually until the image looks more 'correct'. Assuming that the shift is consistent, you'd then know by how much to adjust for the filter.

    Yes there is a set of amount of degrees of kelvin that you have to change. It is calculated by understanding what kind or what is the intensity of light hitting on the subject.
