White balance color temperature
As their temperature increases, objects first start to shine red and then to shine blue
as the temperature rises further. Color temperature expresses the color of light in
this way using absolute temperatures in degrees K (kelvin).
• Fluorescent light sources indicated by
white dots in the accompanying figure
have colors that differ slightly from
those on the color temperature scale;
the values shown in the figure have
been converted to color temperatures
for illustrative purposes.
