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

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.
Mr Vonnegut, may I offer this as an intro into that exact subject from an early 20th century Japanese design perspective?
I thought it was a class/wealth thing, not a culture thing. But I could very well be wrong.
I prefer bright white lights in my work spaces, like my kitchen and more yellow lighting in spaces like my living room.
No such thing as “white neon”, presumably you mean “fluorescent.”
Actually, I think this is a question about “colour temperature”
Cultural phenomenon, or personal choice? I like yellow lighting, but my brother prefers white.
Definitely personal choice. Also, it depends on what look you’re going for in the room. Do you want it cozy and warm? -> yellowish; Professional, futuristic or sterile? -> white or even blueish
sick cultures vs healthy ones
I prefer whatever uses less electricity and still produce enough light to read by.
i have migraines so i have to stick to warm light, and dim lol. white is a trigger
Light pollution
