Color Temperature — The Kelvin Scale and the Color of Light

326.3 Lesson 03 of 08 3 quiz questions 1 assignment

The color of light is not neutral — it varies with the temperature of the source. The Kelvin temperature scale measures this variation: lower Kelvin (around 2700 to 3000K) produces warm, reddish light; higher Kelvin (6500 to 8000K) produces cool, bluish light. This lesson maps the full Kelvin range across common light sources (incandescent 3000K, direct sunlight 5200K, cloudy 6000K,…
