Colour temperature and CCT
Colour temperature (CT)
– Colour temperature, well light colour,
in warm, neutral and daylight white
– Corresponds colour tines white,
quoted the Correlated Colour
Temperature (CCT) Kelvin (K)
– Colour coordinates the Planckian radiator
(Planckian curve)
– Real light sources often deviate from this:
correlated colour temperature (CCT)
