6500K Color Temperature
Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light (the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye ) that has important applications in lighting. Some of these applications include photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, and other fields.
The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator (Black-body radiation is light in thermal equilibrium with a black body, light radiation with a given temperature. The closest item in the real world that behaves as a blackbody is our sun.) that radiates light of comparable hue to that light source. The temperature is conventionally stated in units of absolute temperature, kelvin (K). Color temperature is related to Planck’s law and to Wien’s displacement law.
Higher color temperatures (5,000 K or more) are called cool colors (blueish white); lower color temperatures (2,700–3,000 K) are called warm colors (yellowish white through red). Daylight has a spectrum similar to that of a black body, with a correlated color temperature of 6500K.
