So lets say if you compare the color temperatures of 2500 K vs 5000 K, the 2500 K would have more red light and usually is described as "warm" light, even though it is called a lower temperature at the same time.

(Yeah I know the color temperatures in Kelvin have smth to do with black body radiation, but I wonder if the red light = warm and blue light = cold has some evolutionary background or that blue light has been discovered wayyyy later (blue LEDs etc.).)

Also a bleak winter day is usually mostly whites and blues.
