More pictures in comments. This picture is Olight S1R Baton II (left) vs Rovyvon A23 (right). The Rovyvon uses a Nichia 219C emitter in cool white (about 5700K iirc).)

It's the same complaint you hear time and time again, emitters with awful tint and CRI. When I was still new all I cared about was Olight, so I've amassed a pretty significant collection. It was only when I first tried a Hank light with Nichia 519A emitters that I finally understood why tint and CRI matters.

Also, now that I've learned the Anduril 2 UI every other light just feels limiting.

I own quite a few Olights (not anything from the Baton line, though), and while I would describe them as "warm", I don't notice them as being green with real-world use.

That said, colour temperature is a matter of personal preference. I find that some lights are too "cool", and that bothers me more than a warmer light. But I don't blame you at all for preferring the Royvyon beam!
