warm lighting
Soft golden illumination
Warm lighting has a yellowish or reddish tone, as opposed to the bluish cast of cool lighting.
The term applies to both natural light—sunset, candlelight, firelight—and artificial sources like incandescent bulbs or LEDs tuned to lower color temperatures.
Warm lighting creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere: The restaurant's warm lighting made everyone look good.
Photographers and filmmakers use it to evoke intimacy or nostalgia.
