Evolutionary biologists believe that human lighting preferences are the result of our trichromatic vision—rare in nonprimates—which makes us particularly suited to daylight and the perception of primary colors.

Abandoning incandescent bulbs means abandoning fire as our primary light source for the first time in human history.
