Yes, you are seeing a little blue from your stock halogen projectors. If you shine your headlights onto a wall, you will notice a slight blue color at your cutoff line.

I think you answered as I suspected, the blue tinge is really created by the "optics" of the projector not the bulb. I'm aware of the differences in "k" causing different wavelengths of light and thereby different colors... So I guess I can conclude one of the following...
1. There's a lot of projectors out there HID or Halogen with the wrong temp bulbs. I say this because they're blue "all the time?"
2. Misguided individuals are everywhere, adding the blue lights to thier cars thinking the bulb causes the color and not the projector lense.
3. An S-10 with blue lights is owned by a wannabe
I unfortunately was under the impression that HIDs were the only light set to emit a blue light at certain angles, but that's why I asked.
