What kind of lights for Skittish Fishes?

Does anyone have any sugguestions as to what spectrums of lighting are better for skittish fishes (as to make them feel more comfy), in a fish only tank? I was reading an article in TFH that indicated certain catfishes are less stressed under blue spectrum lighting, while green produced more stress.

Just curious... as I use to have reef tanks - so i'd just blast it with as much wattage as possible, and usually in the 10-14K spectrum range.

Thanks you guys for the input! I'm actually just researching and looking for info out of interest, as well as for practical use. I noticed that people use all different sorts of lights, some functional and others purely for aesthetics on their fish tanks. I was curious as to see if there are any particular spectrum that work better to keep fishes calm, other than just subduing the light with a mesh or some plastic plants. Kind of like when some classrooms and hospitals are painted w/ pastel colors because it is suppose to keep us calm, vs. if the walls were bright yellow and lime green.

As applied to me however, it would be for my 210 gal set up, which is still not yet occupied. Going in the tank - Black Aro and Lima SN, which are pretty skittish under lights.

is this advise for a tank that's already set up or are you just researching?
it depends on what strata the fish comes from.
like, i had a basslet that didn't come out of his cave for like a week and i used just the actinic and moon lights for a while and then turned the 10000K on a little while at a time, and then he was out in full light in like 2-3 days.
