Read the numbers on the white card - they should all be the same number (red=255, green=255, blue=255). If the numbers are not all the same, you will know what colors are giving you the color cast and then know how to correct the cast.
I do like the fact that you are testing this new camera before you shoot something important with it. I think you have the right idea with the white cardboard cards - I used to test slide film in this fashion many years ago when I shot slide film. Most people who shoot content in this industry would not have taken the steps that you have already taken to try to fine tune your camera settings.
Good luck,
