What is Kelvin?

The colour of light is expressed in Kelvin. So we are actually talking about the colour temperature.

What are tangible examples of this colour temperature? At a high colour temperature, the light becomes bluer (cooler), at a low colour temperature, the light becomes yellower (warmer).

Below are some examples.

Candlelight1200K
Sunrise2000K

Midday sun5700K

The colour temperature has a great influence on the atmosphere in the room. Warm light makes you calmer, and blue light increases concentration.
