OTOH means On The Other Hand, IIRC...

It is not just the color 'warmth' (the K grade) but also the spectral components of the light that matter.
By design LED light is hard blue (at least, the most efficient type is) so it needs a coating of fluorescent material to produce other colors.
Likewise, a CFL tube needs a fluorescent inner coating to produce a mix of colors that shows white.

Which of these produces the most natural mix depends on the quality and design of the fluorescent coating used, more than the type.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
