Color Temperature (n.) A characteristic of visible light that describes its warmth or coolness, measured in Kelvin (K). In mobile photography, color temperature is closely related to white balance. Different light sources have different color temperatures; for example, candlelight is very warm (low K), while overcast daylight is cool (high K). Many smartphone cameras automatically adjust for color temperature, but understanding this concept can help photographers make manual adjustments to achieve more accurate or creative color renditions in their images.
