Does this mean I can quit worrying about the stupid curly bulbs in whose light I can’t tell colors apart?

You can purchase compact fluorescent bulbs in identical color temperatures as incandescent bulbs.

Color temperature is independent from spectral uniformity. Incandescent bulbs tend to be rather lacking toward the violet end of the spectrum, but the light they produce is quite uniform in the red, yellow, and green regions. LEDs and fluorescent lights tend to produce a number of discrete wavelengths. Some materials reflect light of certain discrete wavelengths much better than light of nearby wavelengths. When viewed with LED or fluorescent lights, such materials may appear to have a color different from those observed under sunlight, firelight, or incandescent light.

That’s OK for you but I don’t like their light. I prefer ye old incandescent. It duplicates the light of a wood fire and a kerosene lamp, oil lamps and candles which people have been reading by for ages. They are warmer
