Gauge light bulb difference question

Gents,
I recently had one of the aftermarket blue led gauge lights go out on me (actually it works, but the base/metal prongs on the aftermarket led bulb don't make a good connection with the cluster and thus don't light)...

I changed back to the stock bulbs, but I "borrowed" them from some of the dummy lights so I'm ordering some new ones to replace them.

I remember initially switching because I didn't like the "Deep" orange stock bulbs. I noticed the dummy lights that I borrowed from are more of a "tan" glow (like a very light orange, almost brownish).

Can someone tell me the difference in the two bulbs offered on Pelican other than the watts? One says black, one says beige, but I don't know what "color" the bulb will glow.
