5000k

As I recall, according to Chris Saper's skintone book, 5000K is a warm light, closer to what you would get in the late afternoon. You would need something like 6500K for a cooler light.

Both are daylight - but what time of day is what the numbers help to tell you after you get to know their meanings.
