Nothing wrong with them if you like the look.

^^^yup.
It won't look great, but if you're in a bind and those are the only bulbs you have, it'll keep everything alive and well. If you like the look, all the better. You don't see them used much because they hobby has largely moved to LEDs over T5s and metal halide lights of the "old days." It was common to see 10000K bulbs with a few actinics over a tank back in the mid-2000s, and earlier. Quite a few people ran 10000K metal halide bulbs with no blue supplemental lighting
