What would be the more accurate color for the masthead light, emergency stern light and rudder stern light? I have cool white and warm white LED's.

Ken,
We were actually warned (1:1 Scale boaters) that use of cool white led's in the Navlight Housing actually changed the color, especially the BiColor combo lights many smallcraft use.
THAT being said, the white lights (Masthead/Stern) should go with a "Daylight white" as opposed to the bluer "Cool White"
Warm or Neutral: Which is the White for You?
I'm ALSO going to say it depends on your subjects time period, I'd say led's were NOT fashionable until mid 2000.
Older boat, get "warmer", newer go daylight.
Stay away from the blue tone of "cool". (and former Torpedomen lurking in the people tank).
