What's the best type of light for night time?

Red light of course. It has very little impact on your circadian rhythm.

3300-3000 is cozy, any more red will put you to sleep fast

make it make sense that higher color temperature = cold

Higher energy light makes it through more transparent media. Like blue being the only color to make it through the sky or deep ocean.
In winter, the tilt of the Earth means incident light from the sun has to pass through more atmosphere. The remiaing light has less red and more blue, and appears as a higher Kelvin color.
Millenia of experiencing bluer light in winter has led to an association with cold.

You got it backwards bub
Higher energy wavelengths are more likely to be blocked and scattered. Kinda like how UV light is blocked by most glass and transparent plastics.
Blue light in the atmosphere is being scattered, instead of taking a straight path it interacts with the atmosphere and you get blue light everywhere
Same rational for why fog lights are yellow, lower energy wavelengths cut through fog better, blue light would otherwise be more refected back to the driver.

On top of that moon light vs camp fire.

my glasses reflect blue light so I'd be blind I'f my lightbulbs were made of that

2700 K for normal nightime lighting
Red if you are going for really late night.

This. Astronomers use red light to see things because it doesn't fuck with their night vision.
