True-to-Colour Light for YT

Hi guys!
I'm thinking of re-opening my YT channel. My camera isn't HD and my products aren't all high-end, but that's not something I'm worried about since I just want to do it for a hobby.
However my lighting, for lack of a better word, sucks and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or advice? I'm not financially equipped to go for a whole pro-lighting system but just need something to produce more of a white as opposed to yellow lighting so that colours show up better.

EDIT: I know a lot of people will tell me natural daylight is best, but I can only film at my computer desk where sitting my camera on top of my monitor is the only thong that woks, and my window is at the left of me so it creates shadows. Thanks for your time!

All you need are natural light bulbs. They give off blue-ish light instead of yellowy. Good luck!

Try and set up your camera stuff so that you're facing a window so are lit by the sun and natural light - always looks best, good luck x

Here is an article on cheap ways to get better lighting. My favorite is the trick with the poster board.

I would say either face a window or get one of those lamps that look a lil funky and have like 5 bulbs on them its really cheap 15-20 dollars?
