I've never tried the white Hue bulbs which have different temperatures (I've always gone for the cheapest option). What difference does it make in real life, what are the different temperatures good for?

I have these Hue lamps... and they're nice.

I only really use 4 settings:
1. A bright warm light for most of the evening and the daytime
2. A dim/dusk warm light for late evening
3. A super dim very warm light for going to sleep and lights at night time
4. A once in a while super-bright blueish light for doing housework when you want to view all the dust and awful stuff in really bright unsympathetic light
The first 2 modes are 90% of my use, and those just make evenings feel so relaxed.

Cheers. I don't use Hue in bedrooms and the main room I use it in has bright overhead lamps so I guess that cuts out 3 and 4.

I wonder how the temperature on your 1 and 2 compares to the standard bulbs.

For LED builds, these are way warmer than standard LED bulbs. And you can choose to make them quiet red if you like (though not quite fully red).

Let me show you the app for colour selection of these bulbs:
