What seems to be the preference between some of the Cree tints. I'm buying a couple of Q5 Crees from Deal Extreme and I have a choice between the WC and WG tints. The WG is a few cents more but that isn't a big deal. Looking at the sticky I see that the WG could be a little green (eww) but it is also a little warmer, something that I think would be a little better. The LEDs would be for a flashlight mod. Just wondering what people thought and maybe if you hate both of these tints you could suggest a different tint.
 
I have R2's in both WC and WG in multiple emitter lights, and I like the WG better. When comparing one emitter, the WG does look a little green to me around the edge of the corona, compared against the WC. But, for some reason the WG's look really white in multiple emitter lights. Maybe I'm crazy, but that's what my eyes tell me. So, I like WG's in my tri and quad mags.
 
I prefer the WG bin as well, but if you can justify the shipping cost Cutter has the R2 WH in stock.
 
WG is warmer, WC is closer to neutral.

Tint is very subjective and everyone sees tints differently and
has different preferences.
