Probably our eyes are not behaving the same.
I get the best match with my monitors at 6000K and the GTI viewing booth at
5000K under the condition that I use the dimmer and get a similar brightness
as well between the two.
I always ask the opinion from my customers on site as well and up till now
they all agreed: it's between 6000 and 6500K, but 6000K seems to be closer.
6500K slightly too cool.
But 5000K? My monitor and all the monitors from loads of customers on site
are far too warm and definitely more yellow than any GTI viewing booth at
5000K.
Maybe we see colours differently on the other side of the ocean.
