What is color temperature? How to choose the right color temperature?

The official definition of color temperature is "different colors produced by applying different temperatures to absolute blackbody. We use [Kelvin] to express that the single temperature is k, and the color temperature of 1 is 1K. What color temperatures are we familiar with? In the application of lamps and lanterns in daily life, we see that there are only three color temperatures used, one is 3000K (warm light), the other is 6500k (white light), and the other is 4000K (neutral color) mixed when the two lights are turned on together in dimmable lamps and lanterns. Are there only these two color temperatures for lamps? If you ask in detail, how does he define warm white, white light and neutral light, and whether he has accurately pointed out their values. Now, with the improvement of purchasing power and the specialization of application scenarios, people have gradually come into contact with more color temperatures. The addition of more color temperatures makes us have a more reasonable lighting environment.
