It doesn't have to do so much with the shutter speed or film speed or
the type of lens that you use.  The orange effect is coming from the
type of lighting in the environment.  I think that incandescent bulbs
give off the orange tint that you are referring to.  The least expensive
way to deal with this is by purchasing a filter for your lens.  Go to a
reputable camera store and there should be someone knowledgeable enough
to help you there.
