Default LED light question?

I am planning to replace my interior lights with LEDs but have a question about the color of the bulbs. I am going with white but there are three different shades of white.

the options are natural white, warm white and cool white. I would think the warm white would most closely match the original incandescent bulb color? Isn’t the back lenses of the gauges painted blue to put off a green hue when the bulb reflects?

When I put my dash together I had the bezels hydro coated and the rear (blue parts) of it was stained by accident with red and gave me a pinkish looking color , I didnt like. I took everything apart and painted it all non visible parts that were oversprayed red with White and that gave me the cool white I was looking for!!
