Not really. Transparencies subtract some colours from the
transmitted light; prints subtract some from the reflected light.
Displays make their own...


And LCDs use a matrix of RGB filters over a backlight, which makes
them behave similarly to a transparency in a projector, with the
exception that you can tweak the RGB values to change the colour
balance - which you *can't* do with film transparencies.

Why do color enlargers come equipped with color filters then?


You're completely missing the point. Once again, projected colour
transparencies are nothing like printed images.
