We changed over a dozen in a house a few weeks ago. Remember, LED lights have a switch to set brightness. Make sure you like the brightness on the first one, then set all the others to the same setting.

I think you're actually referring to color temperature. A lot of the newer ones have an adjustment from 2700k-5000k. Lower on the end is warmer light (more yellow) and higher is cooler light (more blue). For bedrooms and living rooms, 2700k or 3000k is preferable. For kitchens, garages, closets, 4000k isn't as uncomfortable on the eyes.
Remember that our eyes evolved our sleeping patterns according to sunlight. So don't put any "daylight" colored (5000k) bulbs in areas you want to rest in, like a bedroom.
