What the orange field is for

Warm night light

A dim orange field gives enough light to move around by, with far less blue in it than a white screen.

Cozy ambient light

A screen across the room showing orange reads like lamplight, and is easy to switch off.

Warm photo and video light

Orange makes a sunset-style accent or rim light, and pairs well with a cool blue or cyan on the other side.

Matching warm room light

Next to tungsten or warm LED bulbs, an orange field blends in where a white screen would stand out as a cold patch.

Field notes

Turn it down. Orange at full brightness is still a bright light.

The point of a warm night light is less light and less blue. The colour takes care of the blue; the brightness slider on your device takes care of the rest. Set it as low as you can still see by.

Orange is mostly red, with some green and almost no blue.

That mix is why it looks warm and why it looks slightly different from screen to screen: the result depends on how each panel balances its red and green channels.

Questions

Is orange light better for your eyes at night?
Warm light with little blue in it is generally considered less disruptive at night than white or blue light, and orange has very little blue. Keep the brightness low; a bright orange screen is still a bright light.
Can I use an orange screen for video lighting?
Yes, as an accent or background light. It gives a warm, golden wash for vlogs and interviews, especially opposite a cooler light source.
Why does my orange look different on different monitors?
Orange is a mix of red and some green, so it depends on how each panel balances those two channels, and on its color profile and gamma. Two correctly working monitors can still show it slightly differently.
