There is a spectrum of LED light "temperature" that is expressed with numbers.

You can compare the lights side by side and then, using the temperature number of the one you like, apply that to other lights you purchase.

Some ceiling fixtures have a small switch that allows you to choose the temperature you prefer.

That decision is made prior to installation but the switch position can be changed if you are willing to pull the fixture down to do so.

My preference is about 3,000 to 3,500 which might be described as warm white.

Up around 6,000 feels like emergency operating theatre to me.
