Always have... since the invention of controllable fire by nearly anatomically modern humans? I'm skeptical.

For the entire history of human evolution since the formation of the Earth, that color of light has meant it's almost, or just was, night, and was strictly transient. Just 400,000 years ago it also started meaning that it is night. And just in the last couple of hundred years, with industrialization, it's become the color that most of us see most of the time.

Now, I'm not saying that's necessarily bad— but you gotta wonder why.
