The current white LEDs all seem to have a slight blue tinge to me.

Just like LCD TVs / monitors, with the “color temperature” ranging usually from “warm” standard pale yellow-red (5000K-6500K) to “cold” white-blue-greenish (9300K), you can choose CFLs and LEDs with different range. Though “warm” CFLs are prevalent in stores, matching yellowish color of normal household incandescent bulbs, I bought my CFLs with 5200K as I actually prefer “hard cold” lighting.

The current white LEDs all seem to have a slight blue tinge to me. That's because they do. :-)
