I think once you go above 8000k they get a bit purplish...........
Mine from a distance have a blue/ white tint to it.
They arent as blue as you would see an 8000k bulb.
its funny cause the philips 6000k bulbs I had were a bit purple.
Now with these Eagle Eye 6000k bulbs I have they are a bit blue.
I guess it depends on the manufactor
