I don't really like anything above 4000k, although daylight FL in high light levels is ok. 2700k is best in lower light levels for houses. My preferred CCT is 3500k

I usually prefer 2700-4000K for my room, as 6500K, sometimes causes me headace. The former 2x54W T5 chinese fixture wtih its 865 color, that was in my room at my current hostel, before installing my tracklight, was a glare bomb and caused me a lot of headance. After my tracklight has been installed, the OEM Sylvania HSI-TD 70W/D has better light, and it was less glaring, but still caused me headace when I got tired at the evening. Eventually my current Osram HQI-TS 70W/WDL  Excellence, have much better light, which is less glaring and easier to my eyes.

ANY color temperature when it is used on LED streetlights. Other than that, I don't really have a least favorite, but I prefer 5000k for CFLs and fluorescents.

Anything above 4100k.

The more you hate the LED movement, the stronger it becomes.

Anything in the wrong environment, like 2700K in a workshop or 6500K in a bedroom. I also don't like anything over about 4000K if the space isn't well lit. An exception would be clear MV lamps for street lighting. Like Mercurylamps, though, I think CRI is more important than color temperature. I'm not a huge fan of the way spaces look under halophosphate Cool White fluorescents, for example, even somewhere like a storage area.

I had no problems with the daylight halophosphors 36W T8s we had in the storage of Carmel hospital, before we moved to daylight triphosphors 28W T5s.

Me personally, I have no issues with any fluorescent lamp that's halophosphate or triphosphate. Actually, I don't have an issue with pretty much any lamp color besides most of the lights produced from LED's. Now when we go passed 8,000k in color temperature, that's a different story... 8,000k-12,000k (and higher) car headlights and fog lamps are ABSOLUTELY stupid to me, regardless of whether they're LED or HID. I've seen some cars and even a couple motorcycles with them and I think it's stupid. I'm pretty sure 10,000k and above is illegal.

Here the government completely banned the HID headlights. HID headlights are only legal if they are original of the vehicle manufacturer and has passed the licensing tests, because of their glare.

Oh they're illegal in the US too, but the enforcement is poor. Some states, including South Carolina, don't do vehicle inspections of any kind, so you can get away with a lot.
