Light temperature and shade color

I am choosing an entry way suspension light, and the one I'm looking at has 3000K and 4000K built-in LED, with different kinds of shade, and we like how the beech shade looks (a bit yellowish). My wife wants 3500K in general for public areas, but they don't have this temp color.


My question is if I use the 4000K (which is normally too cold) with the yellowish shade, would that effectively be a warmer temperature due to the color of the shade? Might seem a dumb question, thank you!


BTW: It's a special order item so might not be easy to return.
