Budget and no colour cast rarely happen together. It can vary within the same brand and model as to colour cast. . What is your budget for this, people can recommend at that point.

You will be lucky to find an nd filter without a colour cast. I have the Lee Big Stopper and that gives a blue cast and I understand that the B&W 10 stop does as well. Both of these cost in the region of £100. The cast is quite easily corrected in Camera RAW as long as you are shooting in RAW in the first place.

£30 You may be able to find a Kood for that. However, see the post above, even at 3x the price there is colour cast.

That will be cheap but will have colour cast.

Not only will it have a pretty diabolical green cast, it will also be optically poor. If you want a bit of fun, sure - if not ....!
