They are actually blue LEDs with a bit of white phosphor on the end.
The more phosphor you put in you get the less of the blue and the more
white it looks but they get dimmer. A warm white would give nore
natural colours than a cool one.


Last warm white LEDs I tried had even poorer colour rendering than
'white'. And a rather unpleasant greenish hue. Warm white - to me - means
a bias towards the red end of the spectrum.
