Compared to 9300K, which is the usual setting for monitors, 6500K does look very yellow; 5500K even more so. 6500K is recommended as this is the white point for both the sRGB and Adobe RGB working colour spaces. At least one calibration package (OptiCal, which you can get bundled with the Spyder) allows you to do this as a pre-calibration step before calibrating and profiling. You adjust the R/G/B controls on your screen until both the colour temperature and luminance are correct. After that you proceed through the actual calibration and profiling steps.
