I have had for a bunch of years the IKEA brand of lightbulbs, which use ZigBee and maybe nowadays matter? I haven't had to buy them recently and using ZigBee has been plenty fine for me so no need for me to change. The lightbulbs are not the best when it comes down to amount of colors, brightness and animations (HA only sees one animation which is a constant smooth change of color if the bulb has colors), but for the price they are sold, they were at least the best option back then. Maybe today there's some other brand on a similar price category.
I have a couple of non-rgb IKEAs, No complaints given the price. Generally their smart home stuff is pretty much bang for the buck.
