The color temp of the ELC bulbs used in portable 16mm projectors can vary
quite a bit. I've found Ushio and Osram to be most consistent and these are
what I use for gallery installations. Cheaper bulbs may be more yellow or
otherwise "off".

Older lenses can also have discoloration over time, though Eiki's stock
lenses are quite good and I've yet to have an issue with them.

But either way the color temp of halogen bulbs is not that of xenon, so
prints will always look warmer.
