The 14k IMO, is the right choice, at least for me. It has the perfect blend of white and blue colors. Having said this, every comp. makes there bulbs differently with aspects to the K-rating. I have seen 10k, 12k,14k,15k, and 20k. Some 14k look like 20k and so on. Find one that you like, and stick with it.

The light fixture you have is known to make bulbs look more yellow. I read about a lot of people changing out the ballasts and it corrects it.
