It doesn't have anything to do with temperature -- unless color temperature is significantly meaningful to your personal color tolerance. i.e. a preponderance for warm colors and you choose to meet that tolerance.
It's about nuance. Partner the perfect pitch of nuance with inherent light source. In a nutshell, that's what color consultants do. 99.9% of them don't know that's what they're doing, but it is. They think they're matching color, pulling color, aligning undertones, aligning color temperature, aligning tone, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Deconstructed the essence of every color quest is about how to get color right to work with natural and/or artificial inherent light.
You can choose any hue, either color temperature and any lightness value for any exposure of intermediate / cardinal direction. As long as the pitch of nuance is right. Nuance is a focus and consideration of two dimensions of color at the same time. Saturation + Lightness Value (LRV) = Nuance.
How you determine what hue, color temperature and lightness value is to identify the kind of atmosphere (or mood) you want to create. Because Hue + Color Temperature + Lightness Value (LRV) + Nuance = Atmosphere.
Easy peasy, right? ;)
Light quality influences and defines in situ color but in situ color does not influence quality of light. Because the light is boss. Always.
Been online in #SoMe for many years, I read a lot of blogs, FB pages, sites, etc. and I've never once seen anyone speak to this aspect of color correctly. Most of it's the same stupid bullsh1t repeated over and over. Stuff like north light is blue so it will turn yellow paint color green. Ridiculous. It's like that old game Telephone - a game of Telephone gone horribly, horribly wrong. Unfortunately, urban legends, myths and totally bogus color tips and tricks are all a big part of what makes blogosphere go 'round.
