I like 2 blue plus, 1 coral plus and 1 purple plus. 2 blue plus and 2 coral plus may look good as well.

I'm using 2 ATI blue plus, 1 KZ Fiji purple and 1 ATI Actinic

Here's the same except the actinic is removed and a GE6500 is in its place.

The above said I much prefer the blue look, something like the top combo or 3 blue plus & a purple plus is what I like but a coral plus may be nice as well, I still have not ordered a coral plus bulb because I am now happy with my combo.

One thing i will mention- a blue plus & actinic is a much better 2 bulb dawn/dusk combo than 2 blue plus or a blue & purple combo.
