With fear of piling on:

Color temperature is essentially the measure of blue to yellow light on the spectrum and it affects the way we see other colors, and has nothing to do with actual temperature. 
There are countless studies on light color, healing ability, diurnal cycles, awareness, circadian rhythm, etc. blue light energizes and yellow relaxes. I have been involved with some of this in healthcare design.

Blue light shows other colors more true to their hue and yellow is typically considered more flattering (why we like incandescent light over fluorescent light, especially when looking in a mirror). It's a bit like the Moody Blues' "Knights in White Satin" where a narrator describes the moonlight removing color from our sight, red is grey and yellow white. 
It is measured in Kelvins and incandescent or warm light is typically in the 2700 K-3000 K range. The higher the number, the "cooler" the light. Historically, it is difficult for LEDs to achieve pleasing warm tones, but there is great improvement and we are now accepting 3000 K LEDs as comparable to incandescent bulbs. My understanding is that TV cameras prefer whiter or truer color render (cooler color temps) but with our eyes, we do not. I may be off on this, as I don't work in a lot of TV studios (none really).
