Dimmers work by "chopping" out the lower voltage parts of the AC waveform. Every time there's a zero voltage crossing the circuit turns off until the voltage has increased enough again to turn back on at whatever set point the dimmer is set. The average (RMS) voltage is reduced because the circuit is off for some short period, but the peak voltage stays the same.

Only 2700K bulbs in our house. We have a few task lamps with higher K in them for desk work and other focus tasks but everything else is warm white.
