I’m a little confused by this... Ilford XP-2 is a black and white film. It is also a C41 film, but as far as I’m aware, it doesn’t capture any color information.
Any color you get out of it comes from the scan.
In the olden days, we used to balance our color printer to sepia with XP-2 because it was so much easier than consistently getting a good neutral grey out of color paper... same idea...
But that was true for all B&W films... and each had a different color to its film base... TMAX printed greenish if it wasn’t properly fixed...
