Bro, could not agree with you more....natural light is best - as they say we can never replace Mother Nature...BUT blue with whitelight really bringsour the blues in the frontosas I just ordered a blue light for my T5 Really addictive and serene..hee hee

haha good for you (: and that's what most would do as i mentioned, cos the actinic blue would bring out the blue colour (:
if you use blue light shine on white paper, the paper also look blue right (: so if you use blue light to shine on your fronts, confirm look blue since most of them would already naturally look blue (: and yes, actinic blue does look more serene cos it is bluish and darkens the whole evnironment (:
end of the day, it's personal pref (:
have fun playing with the lighting combinations (:

Yup...it's all up to your preference. On one note, if you are having dark gravel or background, daylight shld be sufficient to bring out their natural blue. If you are having white gravel and your set up are white, then a white and blue light combo will be nice to compensate. As for me, I normally turn on daylight with dark gravel and if got guest coming, then I turn on daylight and blue light...gilat gilat to impress bit bit lah...hehe
