: Color Temperature
Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a light source, expressed in Kelvin
(K). Light sources with a color temperature close to that of direct sunlight appear white; light
sources with a lower color temperature have a yellow or red cast, while those with a higher
color temperature are tinged with blue. You can match color temperature to the light source
as shown in the following table, or choose options that di er sharply from the color of the
light source to make pictures “warmer” or “colder”.
Choose for redder light sources
or “colder” pictures
Choose for bluer light sources
