To my eyes, Chroma 50's has a warm cast (yellowish, according to the
comparison chart on my web site).
As to the original question, I always recommend the Penn Plax Ultra Tri Lux
for a "pure white" look. Richard, you said that Penn Plax bulbs are
probably some other bulbs repackaged. Have you seen the Ultra Tri Lux? I
haven't seen any bulb like it under any other label. It's made in Japan.
