Diffuser Soften

Flash Pictures too Warm?
I'm new to flash photography. I recently bought a Vivitar DF 383 to use with my Nikon D700. I use the built in diffuser a lot to soften harsh shadows, with a shutter speed of 1/60 and f stop between 5.6 and 8 depending on the desired depth of field. I've noticed that many of my photos (especially those taking in large rooms) have an orange cast to them. Any ideas why this is, and how I can correct the problem?
As mentioned, you are getting results with included mixed lighting, ambient incandescent light in the background and your subject being white balanced for flash.
