I don't get what was depressing about it
you think people in the olden times making torches out of sticks and fire complained about the colour of the fire?

some older people get nostalgic about the first generation sodium bulbs that were like a blue tone of white, you can see those in movies like The Warriors, so I get that colour is a matter of taste
the way I see it, humans had adapted to orange glow at night because that's how they navigated by night for generations, so orange felt natural to me
