Even the premise of the idea is wrong, as evenings are either blue from the blue sky, or white from the clouds. It takes exceptional circumstances to have a reddish evening, and even then it's just around the sunset.

I guess that it may help people with undercorrected myopia due to the chromatic aberration, but, I don't know.

It is indeed about the sunset and especially the last phases of it. It's also why red light is recommended for night feeding when breastfeeding.

Works for me, both reducing the blue light and worked for my baby, too, using only deep orange and red light of a cheap LED color change lamp. Apparently works for many, since red nursing lights are suddenly sold everywhere.

When the sun goes down the amount of blue light goes down. Are you disputing that? Respectfully this feels like a crazy claim.
