Usually like to have a muted blue or green light, it's very subtle when dimmed. Not the best for reading, but great for quiet conversation or an evening drink or two.

A previous suggestion of a table light is a good one as well, we also use some free standing solar lights, like one sees around yards at home, that put up a subtle light as well.
