As its name implies, this lamp is almost always used as a light source
behind colored glass.  As such, its color temperature is for all intents
and purposes unimportant and thus not stated in any of the lamp
manufactures catalogs.

You would have to contact the manufacturer or agent to request the spec
on this lamp, but it is more than likely in the 2800 to 3050 degrees
Kelvin range at rated voltage.
