White light is a must for makeup, or any time where you need to see colors accurately. Otherwise give me yellow all the way lol. I love the coziness.

    The difference is not as pronounced as in the picture. If you're used to 4000K as neutral white, yellowish white is 3000K, amber-ish white is 2700K. Only below the temperature of fire (cca 1500K) is when blue fully disappears and you get actual orange or red. And pure yellow is not a possible black body (incandescence) spectrum (that is, it does not correspond to any color temperature) so even though you can set an RGB bulb to that, buy monochromatic yellow LEDs or go under a low-pressure sodium vapor lamp, such lighting feels unnatural.
