People in the north prefer warm white light colours, whereas southern prefer "colder" light. Homes filled with wood furniture in a rustic style lend themselves to warm white light, whereas white furniture, marble and chrome look better in neutral white or daylight colours. Warm white light is associated with leisure and relaxation, whereas neutral white and daylight white are associated with work and concentration.
Thousands of years of experience have conditioned us to associate high colour temperatures (full sunlight) with high illuminance, and low colour temperatures (evening sun light, fire and candlelight) with low illuminances. For this reason, it is considered daylight white light of less than 500 lux as unpleasantly pale.
These are just some of the aspects that you need to take into account when selecting the light colours of compact fluorescent bulbs.
There is no one "right" way of selecting the light colour. Instead, individual aspects such as furniture, furnishings, personal taste and culture are often crucial factors.
