Default 6000k's : Color Question

Maybe rominl or MrSypher can help me out on this one. I've been seeing a lot of pictures and reading a lot of references about 6000k's but I have yet to see them in person. A lot of people describe them as being purple. A lot of the pictures depict them as being blue. Below are some pictures that I have found of some 6000k's. Which one most resembles the actual color you see? I think this may help a bunch of people out as well.

6000k Beam:


6000k's on 5-Series:


6000k's on 5-Series (Elipsoidal Headlights):


6000k's in Freeform Reflector:


6000k's on Synergy's GS:


6000k's on rominl and Synergy's GS:


6000k's on rominl's:


6000k's on TXSTYLE's 350Z:


6000k's on MrSypher's GS:


EDIT: I know pictures can hardly do any justice when trying to show someone the actual color of some lights. I've tried searching a lot but can never come up with a straight answer.

ok from all the pics, i think the ones for mine, synergy, and TXSTYLE are the closest ones. seriously from all the true philips and osram 6000k i have seen in person, none is purple. it's all white with some blue in it, that's all. and that's what you see day and night too. night time you see a bit more blue, but you would say it's white more. and still, no purple.

i agree it's so hard to see it in the pics, camera, the angles you take the pics, color adjustments, everything is variable. you sure you can't find anyone close to you with 6000k hid?

maybe buy a ticket to CA

Bren, Look at the pics with my car...
At the bottom of the pic, look at the ground....
That is the true color that we see on the ground while we're driving... Do you agree Romy???

It's really white with a tint of Blueish/Purple..
