We have a similar situation here grading a film with an overall cold  
'arctic' feel.
To keep the characters flesh tones appearing lifeless and cold we are
finding ourselves similarly compensating for a prints tendency to add a
visible hint of magenta in the skintones thus giving the characters  
more 'life' than we
wish them to have. By adding cyan to these scenes we are visibly  
reducing this bias
seen in the print.

This as Chris suggests seems to work projected in different theatres  
with whitepoints ranging from 5800
to 5500k .
