To me a 50/50 is no where near 14k. The 2:1 ratio of RB to CW is more like 14k to me.

what kind of LEDs are you using and what batch number did you get for your cool whites? the good ones are 6500 to 8000K which has no yellow at all. at worst they are 6500K, which still shouldn't have any yellow. any bin number for "cool white" should give you a white with a slight tinge of blue.. kinda like a ice white for the lower batches and a real light blue for the good batch numbers.. now this is for the older ones and I notice that some of the newer ones are down to 5000K for the bottom end of the range but this should still not show any yellow. nutral white might have a tinge of yellow, but the warm white is where you should get your yellow.
