You are right - somewhere around 5000 Kelvin is "pure white" the
higher the number the lower the light output.  

I have
seen 4300 and 6000s side by side and can't really tell a huge difference -
sometimes I think they are all the same or subbed out in that range as the
average Joe can't tell.  More accurately it should be colors - yellow
- white - blue - violet - pink - why anyone wants these superhot colors is
beyond me!?
