226570 Polar Lume vs 216570 Polar Lume

I wanted to ask a quick question that has been on my mind ever since I’ve wanted a 216570 polar (now 226570)

One reason I didn’t buy the 216570 Polar was the (unlit) color of the lume plots. Under indoor lighting it seemed like the lume plots were off-white, they didn’t match the dial at all and looked ever so slightly yellow compared to the stark white polar dial. This is especially apparent under 2700K-3200K LED lighting.

Since the 226570 came out, I think Rolex has tried to rectify the situation by using a Chromalight/SuperLuminova mix that more closely matches the stark white dial of the Polar.

I wanted to ask those who’ve had extensive time with both: does the 216570 polar lume look off-white to you? Does the 226570 polar lume match the dial?
