Color Temperature Scale
It's important to pick the right color temperature for your setting. Color temperature describes the shade of white a light source has, and is measured in Kelvin (K). A higher Kelvin temperature is a bluer, cooler light while a lower Kelvin temperature is warmer, with a yellow/red appearance. Warm color tones are perfect for comfortable settings, while cooler tones are ideal for professional environments.
