Bernice should be chimeing in here soon to comment about testing lenses for color rendition for studio applications... I have used lenses from the 1910's/20's that did show a fairly strong color bias, but these can be corrected with CC gel filters if need be... One old Dagor had a blue cast, another yellow cast, and another had a warm cast probably due to warm colored balsam color that was not bad...
A test with chrome color film viewed on a decent lightbox will answer the question... Include some neutral colors (white, middle grey, flesh tones, a white building outside on a clear day under the noon sun etc) included in the well exposed test shot should tell you, as well as your normal shooting set-ups...
