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

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.

I thought it was a class/wealth thing, not a culture thing. But I could very well be wrong.

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.

No such thing as “white neon”, presumably you mean “fluorescent.”

Actually, I think this is a question about “colour temperature”

I prefer whatever uses less electricity and still produce enough light to read by.

Mr Vonnegut, may I offer this as an intro into that exact subject from an early 20th century Japanese design perspective?
