Custom WB is a wonderful thing. In a perfect world every camera would always take perfect pictures, but this isn't a perfect world. Doing a custom WB goes a long way towards making your personal world perfect though and this is how you do it with a NEX-6. Just don't forget to change the WB settings when you migrate to a different lighting situation.
A word of wisdom: Custom WB is done by shooting at a WHITE subject. Custom exposure is accomplished by shooting at a grey card. Grey is different than white.

My friend, that's because you were never able to get a correct white balance (a difficult thing to do with the NEX and indoor lighting).
