I'm going to be buying the plug-and-play biocube 29 dimmable retrofit kit sometime this week. I'm trying to figure out what would be a could color combination for it. It comes with a 50/50 mix of royal blue and cool white. But says you can put in your preferred combination of colors. I found another forum that said this: 8 royal blue, 4 regular blue...8 cool white, 4 neutral white. They also have other colors like cyan, green and red. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Personally i would go neutral whites over cool whites, will help your reds and yellows a lot more. Last fixture I built was 1/2 ratio of Neutral Whites and Royal Blues but if I did it again I would go 1/1/1 Neutral White/Royal Blue/Blue

I would do a 1:1:1:1 mix of blue: royal blue: cool white: and neutral white.
