Summary: Closer to pure white 2008-10-21
Comment: Daylight CFLs usually refer to 6100k-6700K color temperature "full spectrum" CFLs. They're used to closely imitate natural light. These lights seem to be around 5100K color temperature, more commonly referred to as "pure white" or "cool white", not daylight. Other 5100k "cool white" bulbs I have look about the same color as these, where other 6300K "daylight" bulbs look a little bluer by comparison.
The phosphors in 5100K-6700K CFLs are more expensive, so the bulbs cost more than those cheap 2700K CFLs. But the quality of the light is much better.
As of this writing 5100k-6700k CFLs of this size are going for over 5 bucks each. So even though I feel these are cool-white bulbs at 5100K, & not true "daylight" & full-spectrum bulbs at 6100k or higher, they're still a great deal for a 5100K bulb of this size.
In winter, especially in northern climates, when there's less daylight, more overcast days, & people stay inside more (because it's cold outside), the lack of natuaral light can cause mild to severe depression. 5100K (pure white) to 6700K (Better & closer to natural light) help with the problem.
Things appear bright & cheery under the light. Colors are more vivid. It's even easier to read under the light with less eyestrain.
Your ordinary incandescent light bulb & your basic cheap CFLs have a color temperature of about 2700K. That means they're not giving off a full spectrum of light, & have a slight dull, pale, yellow color to them.
Look at the white areas of this screen, then look at any cheap lights in the room. Don't they look yellow by comparison?
