The Oxford English Dictionary shows that "warm" has been used to describe
light that is "rich in red" since the mid 1800s. It does not mention the use
of "cool", but I have heard it used to describe light that is "rich in blue"
for thirty years. Because the terms are limited to the amount of blue and
red light, the amount of gamma rays etc. is irrelevant.
