Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, and other fields. The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator that radiates light of comparable hue to that light source. The temerature is conventionally stated in units of absolute temperature, known as Kelvin [K].

Higher color temperatures (5,000 K or more) are called cool colors which appear blue-white. Mid-range color temperatures (3,500 - 4,100 K) look bright white. Lower color temperatures (2700K-3000K) are called warm colors and range from red to yellowish-white in tone.
