Also note, these are 150W bulbs and about 1/3 bigger (and heavier) than standard A19 (standard) sized light bulbs.

Of course, for ease of use there's the still-delayed "Natural Light Scene" coming from Philips Hue soon [hueblog.com]. However, I'd daresay that controlling it yourself might lead to results that better match daylight colors in your particular latitude at a given time of year.
I'm a bit obsessed with this topic... just check out a couple of Hackaday Prize entries here [hackaday.io] and here [hackaday.io] attempting to DIY this kind of effect with commodity lamps.
Good luck!

If your complaint is purely with the ambient color temperature of the light created within a room/space then this kind of tunable light source is a dream come true. There are, of course, other models available. The point, however, is that a color tunable lamp could finally let you pick that perfect color that satisfies your inner Goldilocks: not-too-warm (as some find 2700K warm white lamps) and not-too-cool/blue (as some find 5000K cool white and even 4000K bright white lamps). You can finally pick your color and live with it... until a seasonal sunlight change messes it all up again(?). I guess if you're also a control freak this is either awesome or terrible.
Now if your actual concern lies with how colors are rendered under the light source you're asking about CRI. However, the CRI label on lamps today is simply too easy to game. The Philips in this listing are rated at 90 CRI, which is trivial for a lamp to reach these days with modern phosphors and tells you basically nothing about how well skin tones or reds are rendered (one of the most sensitive color ranges impacted by our new blue LED light sources). Assuming you can find a color temperature you consider acceptable, what you'd be seeking out is a lamp which also takes the time to break down the CRI rating into the specific color bands (most typically R9 for reds [waveformlighting.com] though also sometimes also R13 and others).
Reds (R9) matter for skin tone since underneath all of a human's relatively translucent skin is a bunch of red blood and the ability to correctly render that color then impacts the rendering of the skin tone and melanin above it. Of course, you may have some precious art with other colors you're concerned about, and rest assured that premium light sources often include that data. I attached to this post an example from an admittedly not great lamp provider, but do note how they broke out the detail for CRI in the different color bands.
Plenty of providers of premium LED lamps have had a particular focus on R9 performance (which often requires additional costs and lowered efficiency). The downside to all of this is that these designs are often less reliable despite the extra initial outlay (see my gripes about those Cree from Ideal in an earlier post: great R9 score, terrible reliability).
Good luck!
