Generally speaking, the further up the colour temp scale you go, the more PAR you lose.

However, not every "14K" bulb is truly 14,000 Kelvins as manufacturers claimed colour temps are not always accurate. You'd have to look at the bulbs with your own eyes in action or check the bulbs CCT on Sanjay's site for its true colour temp.
