    I have a mesh that I exported from Blender into Unity as an FBX file. I selected 'Generate Lightmap UVs' and added all different forms of lights into the scene (Area, Directional, Point, Spot) with varying degrees of color (I did not utilize Color Temperature) and are all set to Baked. Baked GI is selected in Lighting.

    Upon baking everything into a lightmap, I noticed NONE of the lights produce the correct color:

    Where anything should be orange, i.e the area lit by the fireplace, it's white. However, when looking at the baked lightmap:

    It's orange, and I'm not sure why.

    My settings for Lighting are:

    (The skybox is just pitch black and the directional light has its intensity at 0)

    If anyone can help me as to why this is happening and how to alleviate this issue, you're getting an online cookie, cause I'm out of ideas.

    Interesting. Are you using custom shaders? Perhaps you have custom shaders that modify the meta pass?

    Also, judging from your lighting settings, your sample settings are very low. Area lights in particular require high direct sample counts.

    I'd recommend that you'd read through this section in the troubleshooting guide:
