I don't have any Philips Hue to compare and I also haven't tried their color bulbs. If you're still curious, I'd recommend getting a bulb that comes with a dimmer switch and try it out. It can then always be paired with the gateway if you want to go further. I like that I can use the IKEA mobile app AND Home Assistant AND their control devices (dimmer switch, motion sensor, etc). The IKEA app allows for quick changes on the fly while Home Assistant handles automated tasks throughout the day while the control devices provide control over the bulbs when the software is too far from reach or potentially out of service. I also like the shape of the IKEA bulbs as they're more traditional and fit some old lamp shades. Cheers!
