ok, so since they are 150's they will be mostly white with just a tint of blue after burning in fully. They actually get whiter the longer you run them, but the blue tint will still be there to an extent and there is absolutely no yellow tint. There was a thread with other people running 150's saying exactly that just a week or two ago that can confirm that. They are decent bulbs for 150, but without some supplements they can wash some colors out. No bulb is perfect as far as color though. My next bulb I'll be trying is the radium 150's. They have as much or more par on every ballast but are a 20k bulb so they will have more blue and if they follow the 250 watt bulbs they will have better color and "pop" then the phoenix 14k's. The price difference is not exactly something to cough at between the radiums and the phoenix bulbs. Overall the phoenix 14k is definitely one of the best 150DE bulbs in my opinion.
