It also depends on the electrical loading. That affects the apparent colour. If the long tube is 4' 40W the comparison will be fair, but if it's 5' or longer, the higher loading will make it look different, even for the same phosphor mix.

@BC5-80: Makes sense as the higher load increases the mercury pressure and that alters the colour tone
