soft white
Muted light hue
Soft white describes a warm, muted white light with yellowish undertones, as opposed to cool or bright white.
The term appears most often in lightbulb marketing: I prefer soft white bulbs in the bedroom.
Soft white creates a cozy atmosphere rather than the clinical feel of daylight-spectrum lighting.
