Yes, I prefer a soft/golden glow (I won't go as far as Mariah Carey and claim fluorescent and overhead lighting in general is "abusive", but she's not wrong; it's harsh, unflattering, hard on the eyes, and it can even damage skin, which can make you look older).
I have a very blue fluorescent over the kitchen window above our sink (the landlord's bulb). It would save money to use it while washing the dishes instead of running the four bulbs in the kitchen ceiling but I can't stand that amount of blue around me. Then, of the four in the ceiling (also fluorescent, they're very long bulbs) two are more golden, while two are a bit less harsh blue than the one that's over the sink. The landlord has offered to swap out the ones I don't like but keeps forgetting to actually do it.
I think the LEDs might cost less down the road so the plan right now is for us to buy LEDs to replace those bulbs, too.
