For a nice crisp white with a blue tone, use either two ATI Coral Plus and two Blue Plus, or two Giesemann Aquablue Coral and two Actinic Blue. You can swap out one of the Coral Plus or Aquablue Coral with either an ATI Purple Plus or Giesemann Super Purple for a slightly more blue look and to get a bit more color reflected from red corals.
