Color temperature
The color temperature of most illumination sources varies
in
tones
ranging from reddish to bluish. These colors are subject to change
depending
on
individual perception. In order to represent the col
or
of light objectively,
we
use a color temperature scale expressed
in
absolute temperature (0
K)
.
As
shown below, the lower the color
temperature, the more reddish the light becomes, and the higher
the color temperature the more bluish it becomes.
