Xenon K's and color questions.

Well, I am getting new Bulbs soon and have a few questions for those with Xenon Knowledge. This is what I know 4300K (white) is what MINIs run stock. As you go Higher in the K range the bluer the light up to purple.

Questions:

Can the Stock enclosure and ballast operate a Higher K successfully?

I understand that 4000-5000K is the best White light but, How much Bluer is 6000K and is it really that noticeable of a difference? And no, I don't want to go purple.

Has anyone done the 6000K bulb and how do you like it?

Is Bluer a real word? or is it just more Blue?

I looked on the vision bulb website and the pictures look Duo toned instead of being true repesentations of bulb color and intensity.

Thanks for any help.
