TRY AGAIN!
Bluish white sources will be 5000 Kelvin or higher. Correct!
Warm White refers to a white with a warm yellow tinge. 3000 Kelvin is close to incandescent lamp color--which is 2700 Kelvin. TRY AGAIN!
Cool White traditionally refers to 4100 Kelvin. TRY AGAIN!
Sunlight is 5300 Kelvin-- in fact that is the temperature of the sun's surface! Daylight is a mixture of sunlight and skylight--which is bluer--and is therefore even higher than 5300 Kelvin. Daylight is typically 6000 or 6500 Kelvin. |
