Why do some cultures prefer to light their homes with bright white neon lights? And others with more yellow dimmed lighting?

I have both colors and the reason for yellow or orange is because it reminds me of the warm colors of a campfire at night.

White or blue light disrupts and delays my circadian rhythm and fucks with my sleep, so after sunset, all my smart lights are programmed to switch to dark orange or yellow.
