Oh I like the sound of those lights. It's hard to find anything other than the crappy wifi ones, can you share details or a link?
You'll want Zigbee powered bulbs. Phillips Hue are probably the highest end but stupid expensive. Innr is a brand made by ex-Hue employees that are half the price and just as good. ThirdReality makes ones that are also good but maybe not as bright or as good on colors.
But you'll also need a Zigbee radio/controller. I think most Amazon Alexa devices can do it, or other smart hubs. But I recommend an open source and local solution that you own, which would be something like HomeAssistant plus a radio. I put more details here; https://thelemmy.club/post/47243166/25883772
