I'm guessing that you used Ilford XP-2, right? And had it printed at the
local minilab or one hour place? None of the things that you did
affected the color of the prints, black and white is black and white, or
at least shades of grey. Ilford XP-2 is a C-41 process film, despite
the fact that it is grey tones. If it is printed on black and white
paper, it will only produce grey tones. If any black and white film is
printed on color paper, you will probably get some odd tones, as the
computer tries to adjust nonexistent colors. XP-2 has a slightly
lavender base, and sometimes, on color paper, will produce colors from a
gentle lavender to sepia (brown).
