Additive mixing of colored lights
Color Temperature
Color temperature describes a color in terms of degrees Kelvin (K). This is useful
for describing the color of light sources and other color values that are close
to white. The following table shows color temperatures for some common
types of light, with the equivalent hue number (from the HSV color
description).
If you use these hue numbers for lights in a scene, set the value to full (255)
and then adjust the saturation to meet the needs of your scene. Mentally we
tend to correct light color so that objects appear to be lit by white light; usually
the effect of color temperature in a scene should be subtle.
