closer to pure yellow under daylight bulbs but drifts a little towards orangish yellow under bulbs that emit softer warm light. Not sure if the pearl flakes have anything to do with that.

My wife was told that knee replacements can take 6 to 12 months to fully recover from. That's the same thing they told me when I tore part of my rotator cuff tendon/muscle off the shoulder bone 10 years ago. They used tiny screws to reattach it and eventually that arm became stronger than the other one. Probably because of all the re-hab exercises. :-)
