The color of light is represented in Kelvin. This unit of measurement represents color temperature.
Color temperature
What are tangible examples of color temperature? At a higher color temperature, the light becomes blue (cool). With a lower color temperature, the light becomes yellow (warm).
Below are some examples:
Candle light | 1200K |
Sunrise (Morning) | 2000K |
Sunrise (High noon) | 3500K |
Daylight | 5000K |
Afternoon sun | 5700K |
Natural white light | 6500K |
The color temperature has a big influence on the atmosphere of the room you are using your lights. Warmer lighting has a natural calming effect, whereas a blue colder color enhances concentration.
