"Soft White" and "Warm White" kind of Green-ish when Hue Bulbs/Goes used with that colour setting

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
When I have a piston set a Hue to the setting “Soft White”, the actual colour of the bulb (and that of the icon in the Dashboard) is actually more off a Green + White. The same is true to a lesser extent for Warm White.

2) What is the expected behavior?
When set to Soft White, the Hue bulbs give a plain white with low colour temperature, no green tinge.

3) What is happening/not happening?
There’s no one right way to define this but I’d say a plain white with a low colour temperature would be as close as I could get in text. The Hue app has several examples.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

Just for example’s sake of course.

Are the bulbs RGB or RGBW?

#3

Standard Hue White/Colour Ambiance Bulbs and Hue Goes, so RGBW

This sounds “normal” to me, since each company uses their own color palette.

To get around this, you can set your bulb to your favorite color using any method you like, and then run this small piston to capture the Hue, Saturation & Level of that bulb.

When you want to return to that precise color later, use this code:

Side Note:
If you try to push the RGB color or colorTemperature, it will often fail to recreate the exact color.
(using only Hue, Saturation, and Levels seems to work best for me)
