Color Temperature
Light has various hues and may be reddish or bluish, for example. Reproduc-
ing such hues requires an objective gauge (scale). The color temperature de-
scribes the hue by the absolute temperature (K: kelvin).
The higher the color temperature, the bluer the hue and the lower the color
temperature, the redder the hue.
