Color correction?

How the heck do you do color correction for pictures taken at night?

While coming back from a cruise up to Lake Piru this evening (I went to drive a new road which turned out to be dirt, so I passed) I eventually caught a pack of slow folks near the top of Grimes Canyon leading me to stop.

I had the camera and a tiny tripod I keep in the camera case, the full moon was rising and I figured I'd give it a shot. I setup the tripod on the trunk and took about a dozen shots. It worked! (now I need to go back and get some tail lights, I caught just a whiff) Using various exposure times between 1.2 and 4 seconds and f-stops between 2.8 and 5.0 I caught a lot of shots that look a lot like day light. Except they're really blueish purple, like this:

That's the window of my car on the bottom right. I'm sure there's some tinting but it's definitely not normally blue. And just to prove that I can't get things right even with light, here's a shot of Lake Piru taken just above the dam about 35 minutes earlier.

I hate image manipulation software, it makes me feel so stupid.
