Day light color question

Hello everyone.
I grow my orchids in my room when weather gets colder under two 2 feet day lights. One of them went out recently.

I bought a replacement T5 2 feet 6500K grow light from Home Depot. This new bulb has softer and yellowing color to it.
I'm not sure how this color of light affects orchids. I'm unsure if I should keep it or have it replaced with bright white color bulb. What should I do?

Home Depot listed this as a full spectrum grow light.
Here is the link ViaVolt 24-Watt T5 Blue Linear Fluorescent Light Bulb Replacement for 2 ft. H/O 6500K Full Spectrum Grow Light-VT52B - The Home Depot

In the picture, new light is on the left.
