None of them

I think i know what you describe. The problem there is not the K temp itself but when everything under the light appear the same color as the light i.e. it does not let things have their individual colors, especially lightly colored things

I'm with Ash, I don't mind any colors, I actually have some smaller metal halides that are 3000 K with a 92 CRI which I really like..

I don't really like anything above 4000k, although daylight FL in high light levels is ok.
2700k is best in lower light levels for houses.
My preferred CCT is 3500k

I usually prefer 2700-4000K for my room, as 6500K, sometimes causes me headace. The former 2x54W T5 chinese fixture wtih its 865 color, that was in my room at my current hostel, before installing my tracklight, was a glare bomb and caused me a lot of headance. After my tracklight has been installed, the OEM Sylvania HSI-TD 70W/D has better light, and it was less glaring, but still caused me headace when I got tired at the evening. Eventually my current Osram HQI-TS 70W/WDL  Excellence, have much better light, which is less glaring and easier to my eyes.

I like all colour temperatures, it's just that I don't like inappropriate use of any one of them. As long as it is at appropriate brightness and used for the correct application, I like it. For instance, in my living room, I wouldn't normally go with anything above 3500K. In an office setting, 6500K could be fine, if the space and intensity permits it.

What I don't particularly like is too low of CRI. The only source I usually like with lower CRI is uncoated quartz MH. All others I don't fancy. Halophosphate warm white with a CRI of 52 takes the cake, though.

ANY color temperature when it is used on LED streetlights. Other than that, I don't really have a least favorite, but I prefer 5000k for CFLs and fluorescents.

I am in the 2700-4K class.Although sometimes I like my 20K aquarium light for some reason as a change-but not for real long.

I don't mind anything really, as long as it is used correctly. I prefer a high CRI to colour.

Anything in the wrong environment, like 2700K in a workshop or 6500K in a bedroom. I also don't like anything over about 4000K if the space isn't well lit. An exception would be clear MV lamps for street lighting.

Like Mercurylamps, though, I think CRI is more important than color temperature. I'm not a huge fan of the way spaces look under halophosphate Cool White fluorescents, for example, even somewhere like a storage area.

I had no problems with the daylight halophosphors 36W T8s we had in the storage of Carmel hospital, before we moved to daylight triphosphors 28W T5s.

Me personally, I have no issues with any fluorescent lamp that's halophosphate or triphosphate. Actually, I don't have
an issue with pretty much any lamp color besides most of the lights produced from LED's. Now when we go passed 8,000k
in color temperature, that's a different story... 8,000k-12,000k (and higher) car headlights and fog lamps are ABSOLUTELY stupid
to me, regardless of whether they're LED or HID. I've seen some cars and even a couple motorcycles with them and I think
it's stupid. I'm pretty sure 10,000k and above is illegal.

Here the government completely banned the HID headlights. HID headlights are only legal if they are original of the vehicle manufacturer and has passed the licensing tests, because of their glare.

Oh they're illegal in the US too, but the enforcement is poor. Some states, including South Carolina, don't do vehicle inspections of any kind, so you can get away with a lot.
