Think you are going to have luck of the draw to be honest, manufacturers don't really make them with colours intentionally. Most in my house have the yellow tinge which you refer to, I remember my grandparents buying some supermarket own brands (probably asda as thats where they used to shop) and they gave off a horrid blueish light!

You could try these, they are daylight bulbs and might give off a more neutral colour, but they are 4x more expensive. To be honest I'd stick with the normal ones! Why the preference?

Most energy saving bulbs publish their colour temperature.

e.g. most of the cheap ones you see advertised are 2700k or possibly 3000k relating to warm white.

Increasing colour temperatures are available, e.g. 6000k or 6500k is for daylight bulbs.

Check the colour temperature before you buy.
