I have 6000K and it looks slightly blue-ish but not blue like 7000K (looks like the LED colour from the cross walk thingy but slightly blue very light)

I would personally got with 4300K-5000K if I had to buy again...

4300k is OEM colouring (pure white)
5000k is a hint of blue (usually this is a 4300k bulb coated in a blue coating, from alot of companies)
6000k has a blue almost purplish tint but very faint (this still has enough usable light)
Anything higher is stupid and probably put out less light than factory halogens and looks ghetto as hell.
