Are color (RGB) E12 bulbs worth it, or should I stick with tunable white?

Reviewer consensus

Specialist-community consensus on r/Hue and r/smarthome is mixed. The color novelty often wears off in everyday fixtures like chandeliers and sconces, and many reviewers recommend tunable white (warm-to-cool) for those locations and saving full RGB for accent lamps. If you want both, RGBTW/RGBCW bulbs give you white-mode dimming plus occasional color.
