I have the new Nook Glowlight with the colored light feature. I found that adding just a little bit of warmth to the light makes it a little nicer but the truth is I only notice it when comparing. While reading my Paperwhite or even my original Kobo Aura with it's splotchy light is just as good.
I do agree that the blue light thing is a gimmick, kind of like the 3D on the Amazon Fire phone. It's there because it sells units not because it makes for a better reading experience.
I think the most dramatic example of this kind of sales gimmick is the glossy computer screen. Matte screens look far better and are easier on our eyes and there's no real price difference but the customer in the store is attracted to the shiny screen so we have glossy screens for the most part.
