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 color
of light objectively, we use a color temperature scale expressed in
absolute temperature (° 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.
