There is, but most humans are used to the spectral pattern of black body radiators at all color temperatures. Be that sunlight at higher temperatues or fires / candlelight at lower temperatures.

Regular exposure to fire/candlelight has only existed for a hundredthousand years, while mitochondria have existed almost unchanged for millions of years.

So even that assumption would require further study.
