<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 1541651, member: 31773&quot;]Color temperature is the way that broad spectrum white light spectral hue is specified. A black body emits light of a certain spectral content depending on the temperature of the black body. Up to a certain temperature, the colors are all in the infrared spectrum. As the temperature rises, the colors move toward visible, and at very high temperatures toward ultraviolet and beyond. Yellowish white light is in the 2000K range; what we call &quot;pure white&quot; is at around 6500K; and very bluish light is in the 8000K range. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is an inconsistency with the way we describe the hue we see that is opposite (and thus confusing) from the actual trend of color temperature. When a light is yellowish in hue, we call it &quot;warm&quot;, while when it is bluish in hue, we call it &quot;cool&quot;. Confusing, but once you understand it&#039;s easy to compensate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
