warm white
Candle-colored light bulb
Warm white describes a color temperature of artificial light that has a yellowish or amber tint, resembling incandescent bulbs or candlelight.
It contrasts with cool white, which appears bluish.
The term appears most often when selecting LED bulbs or adjusting screen displays: I prefer warm white in the bedroom—it's more relaxing.
