About White Balance
The three RGB (red, green, and blue) primary colors exist in the light
source in varying proportions depending on the color temperature.
When the color temperature is high, there is more blue. And when the
color temperature is low, there is more red.
To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of
lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature can be adjusted
with software so that the colors in the image look more natural. The
subject's white color is used as the criteria for adjusting the other colors.
