If you want them to feel cozy and look like incandescent, get a color temperature of 2700k. No exceptions. If you want them to DIM like incandescent, which get warmer and more candle-like as they go down, get 2700k “warm dim” bulbs. It should say on the package that “the more you dim the warmer the light.” Philips makes a good one and that’s what we buy. You can’t cheap out with a store brand on these or they will look fairly terrible.
I personally never go more blue than 3000k for a home (or hotel) and then only in a bathroom or a utility room. Anything more blue than that has no hygge.
There are so many different shades of white light bulbs, I am so overwhelmed walking down the light bulb aisle, and then I'm never happy with the one I choose, no matter which one I choose, I get it home and I put it in and I'm like, ugh, I don't like THAT white

By the time the apocalypse began, the world had already ended. It ended every day for a century or two. It ended, and another ending world spun in its place. It ended, and we woke up and ordered Greek coffees, drew the hot liquid through our teeth, as everywhere, the apocalypse rumbled, the apocalypse remembered, our dear, beloved apocalypse—it drifted slowly from the trees all around us, so loud we finally stopped hearing it.

I have come to realize that, to me, one of the worst crimes a piece of fiction can commit is being mean-spirited. Just about anything else can be good in certain circumstances. But a mean-spirited work diminishes anyone who encounters it.
