Do I need RGB color, or is tunable white enough?

Reviewer consensus

For most recessed ceiling use (kitchens, hallways, living rooms), tunable white (2200K–6500K) covers daily needs and tends to cost less. RGB makes sense if you want scene lighting, holiday effects, or media-room mood lighting. Several r/Hue posters note color saturation is a step down on cheaper RGB BR30s versus flagship Hue.
