Your eyes are Not fooling you ... day-light bulbs (~5000K) are better than warm/yellow bulbs (~3000K) for seeing details. The reason some people don't like the day-light bulbs is the 'blue' tinge they give off.
For thousands of years we have been conditioned to warm/yellow light when inside (fireplace/candles/incandescent ... @ 2000-3000K). It's no wonder many of us still prefer that colour of light for informal/in-house lighting.
The next time I buy an LED bulb, I'm going to look for a bulb that emits pure/natural white light (~4000K) and see how that works.
