Color temperature
The perceived color of a light source varies with the viewer; some may have a
red cast while others appear blue. Color temperature is an objective measure
of the color of a light source, expressed in Kelvins (K). The lower the color
temperature, the redder the cast (
q ); the higher the temperature, the bluer
the cast ( w ).

Choosing a color temperature
In general, choose lower values if your pictures have a red cast or to
intentionally make pictures bluer, higher values if your pictures are tinged
blue or to intentionally make pictures redder.
