Hi mate
F4-5.6 is fairly slow (doesn't bring in much light) so you might be looking at one of the high iso's like 1600iso - which usually isn't too bad.
The lower the light, the slower your camera can focus also, so pre-focusing is going to be the best option usually.

The colours are not easy to predict since your camera can pick them up very differently to your eyes, and every hall is different. If you can use incandescent (lightbulb) white balance, or one of the other presets, that is great. Otherwise you might have to set a custom white balance on the D70. I think for this you need to take a photo, and then use this as a sample for the camera to decide the correct white balance. Your manual should tell you the details though.
