Sorry for asking but can someone explain what is meant when people say the color of their LED is WARM? What other words describe LED colors?

To me:
White = no tint
Warm = slight yellow - better for seeing colors as they truly are.
Cool = slight blue - seems brighter to the eye than same lumen warm tint LED.

You can end up with green and purple too but not as common as they used to be, which is a very good thing!
