We know that light is made of colour but did you know that colour is measured in degrees on the Kelvin scale? This diagram shows you where the different types of light fall on the Kelvin scale.
As a photographer it is good practice to get to know the different photographic light colours and how they affect your scene. For example, if you are shooting a picture under fluorescent lights, you will notice that your scene will have a blue and green look to it. Or if you are shooting under Tungsten or candlelight, you scene will take on a warm orangey glow. The better you are at seeing the colour of a particular photographic light, the better you will be able to work with the light.
