    2 Blue +'s, 1 AquaBlue, & 1 Fiji Purple, I'd say it's a tinge bluer in person:

    As mentioned it is very hard to get "true" colors...I use manual white balance on a lot of the photos I take, but even then differences in computer monitor settings can make the same photo look different on two screens.

    That said, one of my tanks (a 125) is running 4 Blue Plus and 2 Aquablue specials...I think that is very close to your 3 B+ & 1ABS scenario...it is a more "blue" look for sure, but the PAR from the ATI bulbs is enough to keep a maxima clam and sabae nem on the sandbed.
