Any tinted bulb will be hotter because the tint filter absorbs certain wavelengths of light and converts them to heat. Often the bulbs will be slightly to severely overdriven to compensate for the loss of output.
Why anyone really wants blue bulbs is beyond me. In general, they're more expensive, produce less usable light, and burn out faster.

But blue tinted bulbs are offered by almost all major vendors, except possibly GE. What is good for shareholders must override all ethical and moral considerations. Shame on them.

Perfect, flawless description of the Sylvania SilverStars.
Good job.
