Thorn (EMI)

Coloured 2D tube (Great Britain) - this gives out a lemon colour when in use but I also have green, peach, red and blue.

Thanks to a Coughtrie CPS 16 fitting being acquired, I could try all of these tubes out to see how effective the different colours were:

Lemon

This tube is much like a regular 'white' tube - there is a slight increase in yellow however.

Green

The green was very vivid but still offered a slight amount of colour rendering.

Peach

Another colour not far from white - although this had more of a pink tinge to it.

Red

The tube actually glowed more of a deep pink colour than red but it wasn't far off.

Blue

The blue was very sharp - it reminded me of neon tubes in many ways.
