Blue = phototoxic
Green = phototoxic
Red = protective
The blue and green parts of the spectrum are responsible for retinal phototoxicity, while the red part has protective properties. Thresholds for human safety are grossly underestimated. It is important to note that artificial domestic lighting is nowadays almost exclusively done by LED technology, and its high blue content and small red content corresponding to the exact opposite of what we previously had when using incandescent bulbs.

Circadian rhythms in the blood–brain barrier: impact on neurological disorders and stress responses - Molecular Brain
Circadian disruption has become more prevalent in society due to the increase in shift work, sleep disruption, blue light exposure, and travel via different time zones. The circadian rhythm is a timed transcription-translation feedback loop with positive…
Chronic circadian disruption (hello irregular sleep/wake times, hello artificial light at night, hello eating late) increases the risk for, and severity of, cancer. It also increases the risk and severity of comorbidities that interfere with cancer treatment. Changing your lifestyle can effectively reduce the risk of cancer and comorbidities in everyone and can improve the health of millions of cancer survivors.

Feeding/fasting patterns are the main zeitgeber for the liver clock and, as such, underpin the crosstalk between the overall circadian timing system (light > eyes > brain) and metabolism. There is also crosstalk between the liver and muscle clocks for redox and lipid metabolism. The breakdown of any of these channels will cost you.
