Lighting a kitchen scene - walls painted yellow

So I have this scene I am shooting in a kitchen. And a couple of the walls are painted yellow. And when i looked at the footage it had a yellowish tone to it on account of the lights bouncing off the walls. Is there anyway to get around this issue? The kitchen is kind of small. So there isnt a lot of choices in where to place the lights. I was thinking if i used flourescents they wouldnt bounce off the walls that much. And i tried color correcting buch wasnt happy with the results.

thanks
 
I would use 5600K fluorescents, aim them away from the yellow walls and then bounce non-yellow light to your subjects. You could even bounce off the ceiling. Then put a blue-gelled, soft hair spotlight on your subjects to separate them from the background.

On backlighting, lately I have used a number of blue-white LED lights that I really like as they are easy to put in places where they are close to the subjects lit, but don't show on camera.
