Electroless Nickel Plating vs. Yellow Chromated Aluminum's Thermal Conductivity

I am looking for the thermal conductivity for Electroless Nickel Plated (MIL-C-26074, ASTM B733) Aluminum (6061-T6)and the thermal conductivity for Yellow Chromated (MIL-DTL-5541-F ASTM B449) Aluminum (6061-T6)?

Trying to see how close there are and which one is better thermally.
