well, in chicago's case, they're lamping the new fixtures with 3000K LED bulbs, so that's pretty warm for LEDs (and not too far off the 2700K you use in your home), but they still look so damn cold next to the old sodium lamps.

those old sodium lamps are just so damn orange that even a relatively warm light still looks really cold next to them.

for reference high pressure sodium is around 2200K and low pressure sodium is around 1700K.
