The color temperature of the camera is somewhat normal.

The color temperature of the camera is about 5500K, which literally means the temperature of the color, so there is a difference between cold and warm. Intuitively, the warm color is red and yellow, the cool color is cyan, and the white balance is based on white. When the white light in the photo is the same as the white light you see, the white balance is right.

Color temperature is a physical quantity used to define the color of light source in illumination optics. That is, when a blackbody is heated to a certain temperature, and the color of the light it emits is the same as that of the light source, the temperature at which the blackbody is heated is called the color temperature of the light source, or color temperature for short. The unit is "K" (Kelvin degrees-days). Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light, which has important applications in photography, video recording, publishing and other fields. The color temperature of the light source is determined by comparing the color of the light source with the theoretical hot blackbody radiator. The Kelvin temperature when the hot blackbody radiator matches the color of the light source is the color temperature of that light source, which is directly related to Planck's law of blackbody radiation.
