Symbol: K, is a unit of measure for temperature based upon an absolute scale. It is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI). Kelvin is often used in the measure of the color temperature of light sources. Colour temperature is based upon the principle that a black body radiator emits light whose color depends on the temperature of the radiator. Black bodies with temperatures below about 4000K appear reddish, whereas those above about 7500K appear bluish.

The colour temperature of light is measured using the Kelvin scale. Sunlight is around 5500k and cool tones of light are hotter than warm tones of light. Warm light and cool light influence paint and object colour appearance.  Colour light illustration by Zena O’Connor, PhD © Design Research Associates.
