warm light - Considered the “coziest” light, this is the light with the least issues. The reduced blue light is less likely to screw up your sleep and it looks less “alien” and/or “dreary” than the other types of light. As the name implies, it looks even more inviting on colder days. An especially warm light can give your space a more rustic feel.
daylight - Despite what you might initially assume from just the name alone, this is less like direct sunlight and more like atmospheric light, complete with a tinge of influence from a clear blue sky. If you know anything about how sunlight interferes with the body’s melatonin production, then you know it isn’t a coincidence that this more “natural” light just happens to be the same light that has become such a huge problem endemic to modern devices. Needless to say, the only thing that’s worse than this is, well, a blue light.
Furthermore, not only is it ironically less suited for a more “sunny” look than for something “colder” or more somber, but even more ironic still is how well it lends itself to a more “futuristic” aesthetic. (In The Terminator, one of the guerrilla film techniques that was capitalized upon when shooting was the utilization of the local halogen street lights for illumination of the titular character, which similarly had a blue tinge that visually symbolized the more alien and mechanical nature of the otherwise incognito nudist.)
pure white light - In theory, this should be perfectly neutral light, but that could be a problem in of itself. Outside of more utilitarian use in the studio, on the workbench or any context in which color accuracy is paramount, the light just looks “sterile”, “uncanny” or even “harsh”. The association with spaces such as offices or hospitals certainly doesn’t help.
