Tip: “Mired”
Values in mired ar
e calculated by multiplying the inverse of the color temperature by 10
6
. Any given
change in color temperature produces a greater difference in color at low color temperatures than it
would at higher color temperatures. For example, a change of 1000K produces a much greater change
in color at 3000K than at 6000K. Mired is a measure of color temperature that takes such variation
into account, and as such is the unit used in color-temperature compensation filters.
E.g.: Change in color temperature (in Kelvin): Value in mired
4000K – 3000K = 1000K: 83 mired
7000K – 6000K = 1000K: 24 mired
