Most of my switches are smart, bulbs are dumb. Any smart bulbs are on non switched lights and are controlled by automations.
That said, I do have a smart RGBW bulb in our master bathroom fan that's also on a smart switch. The switch doesn't actually control the power, rather it works more like a button (via a setting configuration on the switch). That allows me to control normal lighting with the on/off toggle, and I can also factor in other elements, like time of the day.
For example, turn on the light at 6:00 AM and the bulb is set to 100% brightness and a cool white color temperature.
At 10:00 PM, a warm white at 40% brightness. After 11:00 PM it sets to red and 10% brightness for overnight restroom needs. Definitely not the cheapest route, it definitely the most control. Might be worth considering for your highest traffic areas.
