Anyone notice that Canon's L lenses typically produce warmer colors?

Was trying out my 15-85mm after not using for it a while. The color temperatures in the picture tend to be a lot cooler than the 70-200mm F4 IS and 135mm F2 I have been using. Anyone notice the same? If so, anyone know why?

Yes, I've noticed; especially when compared to my Zeiss lenses.

i briefly owned the 17-55. it also produced "cooler" images than L glass. not bad but different and too my eyes not quite as pleasing.
