    Why not? Not you, I mean but why not have it as an option?

    Frankly I wouldn’t use it either, but I can absolutely see the appeal. Sometimes you want some warm tones, sometimes you want cool tones. Maybe you’re having a Green party for 4/20 and you’re playing Green Day and watching green videos idk.

    Lol dumbness aside, my immediate thought was “this seems like it could be nice for those who sleep to videos” - I know that I don’t always want a white-blue heavy video but something darker and red

      Okay, but what if your darker and redder video is super loud and obnoxious and your blue-white video is quiet and calm? Or the dark red one is strobing and the blue-white one is calm and soft? That’s the problem with just sorting them by color. Color doesn’t really tell you anything about the content of the video. I mean I supposed this very out-there idea of a ‘green party’ could be a weird usage case, but I think that’s a very unusual event and doesn’t really justify the feature.
