I notice this same color difference when looking at the reflection from the car in front of me--the 6500K clearly has bluer rings than brow and the 5000K looks like a perfect match to the brow.

If I really get picky, I think the 5000K is a shade on the yellower side compared to the eyebrows. Barely. It does not help that the eyebrows seem to have just a touch of purple in them, which the LUX 5000K does not have. The brows are clearly not 8500K+, so I don't know where that hint of purple comes from.

Bottom line, the 5000K matches the brow pretty well under close scrutiny and the 6500K is instantly recognizable as different.
Couldn't agree with you more! Would you say that the 6500k's look more like the LED's in the 3 and the 5000k's look more like the LED's in the 5?
