I have a 4 bulb fixture and I want to swap out bulbs for ati bulbs but what would be the best color combo to really bring out the colors of my coral? I was thinking 2 blue, 1purple, and 1 white? Does anyone have any other suggestions or insist on this? Pictures would be greatly appreciated to so I can get an idea of what mine will look like. Thanks everyone

I personally love the purple plus bulb, I think two blue plus, 1 coral plus and 1 purple plus would look good. However, so would 2 blue and 2 coral. It's all about personal preference - and if you have a lot of reds/oranges (or plan to) I find the purple plus really brings those out.

For a whiter look with a hint of blue/purple (blurple) try 2 blue plus, 1 purple and either a ge6500/ABS/coral plus.
Trade the ge6500 for a aquablue special for a tad more blue, or a coral plus for a tad more blue than the aquablue.
My avatar is 3 blue plus and a Fiji purple, and its very blue in comparison.

is 'coral' the actinic bulb?
I like a purplish/blue hue but not overpowering..

2 blue plus
1 Fiji purple
1 ge6500
You like this? More or less blue than this?
2 blue
1 purple
1 ge6500
A lot of us consider this not blue enough and you will add more blue as you try the aquablue special or coral plus (bluest of the white bulbs) instead of the ge6500.
Hope that helps.
