Most people associate red with warm/hot and blue cold/cool without thinking twice about it. It is such a common sense to be associated that way. In the real world, it's just the opposite. 2,000K is reddish orange. 6,500K is bluish white. So as you might have figured out, light bulbs are also named with this "opposite scale"
3,000K=warmer white
3,500K=warm white
4,100K=cool white
5,000K=D50, daylight etc.
6,500K=daylight, "cold appearance"
Why do we feel that blue is a colder/cooler color than red or orange?
