Color Temperatures of Light
The color temperature of light is the temperature to which you would have to heat an
object (a black body) to produce light of similar spectral characteristics. Low color temperatures
produce warmer (yellow/red) light, whereas higher temperatures produce
colder (bluer) light.
The color of light is measured in Kelvins. LightWave has a handy Kelvin scale on its color
picker,which makes it easy to plug in these values when you want an accurate starting point.
For example, if you want to light your gunfight scene from High Noon, you would select a
starting temperature of 6000 to 6500 degrees Kelvin (noontime) for your skylight and adjust
from there. Table A.
