You can get CFLs in daylight version, marked as daylight or 6500K.
Daylight tinted lighting is however hideous. Halogens come nowhere
near it at 3000K.

I've tended to find that "daylight" lighting means lighting with a
colour temperature equivalent to a dull, cloudy day, which isn't
what I need to cheer me up. Halogen is far nicer as it gives a much
"sunnier" light. The tubes used on First Great Western's trains are
particularly hideous.

Quite. Imho the OP would do far better to repaint.

Repaint three rooms vs trying a few different light bulbs? You must
love painting.

No, I understand the science behind the situation.

So you're saying that you know that no amount of jiggering around with
different bulbs will ever produce a satisfactory look? *I'm impressed! *Or
rather, I would be if it wasn't for the fact that I know from my own
experience that different CFLs produce different qualities of light.

*Maybe* none of them will produce a satifactory appearance but it's sure as
hell easier to try a few bulbs than repaint three rooms.

Let us know how it goes then
