Ages ago when I was putting together my little drawing table set up for A*, the lamps to get seemed to be these "Sunshine" armature lamps that combined a traditional 100 W bulb with a torus-shaped bluish-white bulb around it, forming what was supposedly a close to pure white light between them, so you'd be able to see your colors clearly when coloring.

Well they do that, but I've also been realizing that eyeballs aren't super fond of blue light. I've switched to using two regular (in two separate lamps; and they're LED these days, whatever) bulbs with their yellowish light, rather than a regular and a bluish one, and my eyeballs seem happier. I don't really do naturalistic color anyway so no need to hit the peepers with that blue!
