    depends on the brand of bulbs some 10ks are really white and some are yellow, some 20ks are pretty white. i had 2 hamilton 20ks and 1 coralife14k on my setup and couldn't tell a difference. i had 2 ushio 10ks and the coralife 14k and you could tell a difference, my ushios seemed to be kinda yellowish but i've seen some that are really really white

    the xm 20k are really blue from what i have heard, and the 10ks are pretty white, the only coralife bulb i've seen or heard of is my 14k so can't comment on those
