Why do some cultures prefer to light their homes with bright white neon lights? And others with more yellow dimmed lighting?

Mr Vonnegut, may I offer this as an intro into that exact subject from an early 20th century Japanese design perspective?
I didn’t know that I’d say it’s cultures. My wife and I grew up in the same culture but she can only stand warm whites and I prefer as close to daylight in color temperature as possible.
It’s just preferences afaik.
I read once there’s a subconscious influence on your perception of the temperature in the room, based on the lighting.
So whiter lit rooms “feel” cooler.

Nice source!
I prefer bright white lights in my work spaces, like my kitchen and more yellow lighting in spaces like my living room.
sick cultures vs healthy ones
i have migraines so i have to stick to warm light, and dim lol. white is a trigger
Cultural phenomenon, or personal choice? I like yellow lighting, but my brother prefers white.
Light pollution
