> The light of 2700K bulbs is definitely whiter than incandescent bulbs.

You must be looking at some mislabeled, or carelessly packaged stuff.

Also, the actual temperature of incandescent is going to vary with the line voltage. A swing down to 110V will produce a more yellow light than 120V.

> Stuff in the room is not the right color.

Stuff in the room is the right color when you take it outside on a sunny day.

Compare photos taken outside with no-flash indoor ones.



Thanks, that mght explain why I find the 2700K LEDs too "white". I found some 2100K LED bulbs online, I might give them a try.

Being "whiter" won't be an issue. I meant there's some awkward green/purple nuances everywhere.
