I agree with noah. good lighting and making sure your monitor is throwing off the correct amount of light all help. Also I've found having a confidence spot (small swatch true black, gray and white) helps to sort of "reset" your eyes when your working long days or dealing with footage that has a big color cast throughout. I just modified a camera white balance card for this purpose.
