recommendations for color accuracy for WB settings?

Any suggestions on adjusting the tints for the WB settings? Compared to my Canon, my GH1 shows green tints when I've got WB set to incandescent (and fluorescent.. those two seem to cause the most headaches for me)... the Canon seems warmer. I can fiddle with the tint crosshair to try to remove the green cast (then it starts shifting to other colors) but honestly I can't tell how close/far I am from color accuracy.
Are there any known preset settings I can apply to the WB settings to correct the tint problem I'm seeing?

And just out of curiosity... does the GH2 exhibit the same thing?
 
For incandescent lighting on the GH1, I typically use Nostalgic Film Mode with white balance set to 2700K. I also modify the G-M color balance to 4 in the M- direction. This gives me a warm color balance without a greenish tint.
 
I don't know if the GH1 is similar to the GH2, but I have noticed an extreme, I'm talking really extreme green tint as soon as I press record on my GH2. no matter whether i adjust the white balance to extremely warm, as soon as I hit record everything looks green on the lcd. but when you look at it on the computer it's not there. but again it's greener than the canon look so basically I would either manually white balance and adjust it towards magenta-yellow but if you have nothing white near you or it's too dark adjust the kelvins to your liking. I think I'm gonna order an accurate 18% grey card pretty soon too.
