All bulbs are just 4k bulbs with coloring on them to make them appear to be other color ranges, and adding a colored housing reduces light output. 4K is for optimal lighting, anything higher is just for looks. I'd say 5000-6000 is a good balance of looks and function however, as you are barely giving up any light output for a much nicer look and to most people it will "appear" brighter without being any brighter.
Don't confuse this discussion with facts!
