The entire 'warm white' concept is based around the colour temperature of candles, those being traditionally associated with night illumination. But look at the actual colour temp of an overcast sky just after Sunset; it's 5000K+ blue-grey, not 2500K yellow. The latter has no place in nature other than fire.

I think you just mean colors, but tried to find three different ways to say it (and kind of failed, because lots of people “deal with” document all the time and aren't concerned with color.) At any rate, the light came be fixed at any supported point, too, the matching is just an available function, not something you are locked into. So for uses for which it doesn't meet your needs, you would just not use it. > But look at the actual colour temp of an overcast sky Not sure about handling the overcast part, but that's explicitly what this does otherwise. > The latter has no place in nature other than fire. Yet somehow our ancestors managed to go to sleep... Not sure what your point is, since the color of natural light just after sunset is only relevant here if you think humans are optimized for sleep at twilight. Which...they aren't.
