This appears to be the strategy the organizations dedicated to darkening are pursuing.
Popular example: many streetlights throw light directly into the sky or sideways. They try to advocate for choosing the more expensive streetlights that effectively direct the light to the walking areas people actually use. The net result is usually a better-illuminated sidewalk.
I’ve seen research and demo-houses that employ the different light over the course of the day approach, but I have not seen anything about trying to get developers to offer it. In this way it falls into the same gap as any given environmental improvement in home/apartment building; people would probably by it if it were available, but have don’t have the option to select it because it isn’t; there’s no real way to express demand to developers short of people choosing to do independent design/builds.
I feel like this should also be handled by a contractor, but there’s not much in the way of ‘lighting contractors’ to appeal to; it seems like an electrician would have to shift their focus, or an interior decorator would have to expand into more contractor-y work.

The technology is commerically sold with Philips Hue (and a few lesser known brands). It’s just a matter of putting different lightbulbs into the fixtures for light bulbs and setting up when you want what light.
