Balance Your White: Kelvin Temp Chart
Color Temperature is the language of light. The **Kelvin Temp Chart** tool at **Online Tool Base** is a reference guide for cinematographers and designers. It maps the Kelvin scale (1000K to 12000K) to real-world light sources, helping you match your camera's White Balance (WB) to the environment.
Mixed lighting ruins shots. If you shoot with Tungsten lights (3200K) but set your camera to Daylight (5600K), everything looks orange. **onlinetoolbase.online** visualizes these colors so you can choose the correct gels or settings to neutralize shifting hues.
Why Use This Tool?
It's a pocket reference for mood. Low Kelvin (2000K) feels cozy and warm (candlelight). High Kelvin (7000K) feels cold and clinical (overcast day). Use this chart to deliberately mistune your white balance for creative effect.
Key Features
- Visual Spectrum: See the color gradient from Orange to Blue.
- Light Sources: Matches values to sun, shade, fierce, LED, etc.
- Mired Shift: Helpful for calculating gel strength (CTO/CTB).
How to Use
- Identify your light source (e.g., Office Fluorescents).
- Find it on the chart (approx 4200K).
- Set your camera K value to match.
- Result: Neutral white.
