Default PAR value of 14,000k bulbs

I have decided I do not like the colour of Ushio/10,000k bulbs. I am going to experiment with actinic supplementation, but if I switch to a 14,000k bulb, am I going to loose out significantly on coral growth rates?

Just an FYI, when I switched to Radiums, I didn't notice any significant reduction in growth. I don't the the 14k would make a difference.
