    Until now I was helping others to buy some LED of their choice, but now I am confused about LED color selection. I am unable to decide what color will suite better.

    What LED's are you comparing? Most people runa mix to get a good color blend. For example, i am runing Cool white, Blue, Royal Blue, Deep red, Cyan, and UV

    Your profile indicates that you are the owner of an LED lighting company. Who better to answer your question than yourself?

    The newest "full" spectrum seems to be HV, CB, cyan, WW, NW, RB.

    That is what I am telling that I used to help others for their selection, but when I want to choose for me, then I am getting confused about the selection, so I thought why not to fire a quick question. I also like cool white, but do not know what I will select.

    That doesn't really make sense. I suggest letting everyone know about your tank and what you keep in it if you want suggestions.
