The idea is that yellow light gives less discomfort and glare, especially in adverse weather conditions. The tests that were done compared to original tungsten lights did not highlight a huge difference, and I can see that. Normal lights at about 3200-4300K is fine.
I must admit I actually agree. Whilst those modern LED Matrix/Laser lights are super bright, I do wish that at times you can make them a bit warmer (i.e. more yellow) in colour temperature. It is like watching a movie on a TV in vivid mode which is not a good thing.
But that ship has sailed, people seem to want the ultra bright white touching on blue lights. I prefer them around 4300K, opposed to about 5500-6000K they seem to be at these days...
