The orange cast is due to the color of the light itself, which has much
less blue than sunlight. To emphasize what blue there is, try using
80A or 80B blue filters. I have found that they almost-but-not-quite
correct tungsten light orange casting. What cast is left tends to add
golden hues to human skin and generally deepens earth tones, which is
pleasant.

Of course, you can avoid the problem entirely, by using black-and-white film.

There are various neutral (e.g. gray) filters, that do not affect the
color of the light reaching the film, but diminish its intensity.
You can also try shooting with slower film (finer grain).
