What 250w DE bulb most resembles Radiums

Just acquired a couple DE pendants with M80 ballast. Does anyone know which DE bulb most resembles Radiums as far as looks and spectral analysis charts are concerned.

In 250 watt DE HQI, I have used Phoenix 14K, Hamilton 20K, Ushio 20K and XM 20K.

I don't think those have the same look as Radium but I would say that I did like both the Phoenix 14K and the Hamilton 20K the most for coral.

Phoenix 14k is a good bulb
