A vehicle lighting apparatus (1) comprises a lighting unit (2) to light a vehicle's interior with light (La) having a variable colour point and an electronic control unit (3) to control the at least one lighting unit (2) including its colour point, wherein the electronic control unit (3) comprises an interface (4) connectable to a colour sensing unit (5) and is adapted to set the colour point of the lighting unit (2) according to a sensed colour point. A vehicle (V) comprises the vehicle lighting apparatus. A method for setting a colour point of an interior light (La) of a vehicle (V) comprises sensing a colour point of a reference object (RO) and setting the colour point of the interior light (La) to a colour point closest to the sensed colour point. The invention is particularly useful for setting a colour point of an interior ambient light of a vehicle.
