Experimenting with White Balance

My photograph is of a tape dispenser that is on my desk.  The first photo was taken using tungsten setting. It turned out yellow. The second photo was taken using daylight setting, and it turned out a lighter yellow.  The third photo was taken using fluorescent setting.  This setting turned out the best because the tape dispenser was underneath a fluorescent desk light.  The lighting in my room is also fluorescent.  The color of the picture turned out an off-white shade, which is a roughly accurate portrayal (most successful of the three) of what the lighting and image look like in real life.
