I had a few lights out on my T2 (which came to me LED'd), and I discovered there were still a few bulbs in here that were NOT converted to LED. The others in here are Comet, but I can't tell if they're natural white or warm white -- and I want to buy the same color so they all match. The only markings read "COMET 6.3 VAC". From the website, it looks like the base is colored accordingly, but I don't know which is which.
Can anyone help? Will post a pic momentarily.
You need to light the bulb, to tell the color.
Theres a Kelvin color chart on their website, or post a pic lit.....
I don't have a warm white on hand, but I have sunlight and natural white.
Natural white is slightly blue (technically a cool white), sunlight is slightly yellow, and warm white is a little bit more yellow than sunlight. Personally, I like sunlight for GI (natural white seems too harsh and blue to me), and usually use natural white for inserts and the backbox.
From your photo, I'd guess natural white.
I just looked at Comet web site 'COOL White' Comet calls 'Natural White "$.69 cent order both then you will be covered dirt cheap . http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/2smd-ct-ft.htm

Pinball life carried the tester, but it looks like it's either out of stock or not available.

Marco still has it listed, but the price is a little ridiculous.

I have no idea who actually made the tester, since there is no other writing on it.
I took this photo a while back of some of my bulb bins:
