Below is the extract from the NI testing site (appreciate it's not totally relevant but it is probably more stringent than the mainland UK being government run over here). No mention of colour temp however annexdotally I had previously asked whilst my car was being tested and was told if it looks like HID it will fail if it doesn't have self leveling and washers fitted. Colour, as long as it's white and not blue should be ok as long as below is met....
The most common type of headlamps fitted to vehicles are those known as European type headlamps which are checked for aim on the dip beam.
These headlamps have an asymmetric dipped beam pattern with a distinctive horizontal cut-off on the right, and a 15 degree wedge of light above the horizontal (the 'kick-up') towards the left.
the beam pattern blurred and does not show a distinctive cut-off pointthe beam 'kick-up' is to the offside, that is, the headlamp dips to the rightthe The most common type of headlamps fitted to vehicles are those known as European type headlamps which are checked for aim on the dip beam.

There will be no opportunity to adjust headlamp alignment during the test. Levelling devices should be set for unladen condition, normally located on vehicle dash.
Not quite answering the original question but hopefully helpful.
