Selection of color temperature

Color temperature is the feeling of human eyes to luminous body or white reflector, and it is a feeling of physical, physiological, psychological and other complex factors, which also varies from person to person. The color temperature can be artificially changed on TV (luminous body) or photography (reflector).

The average color temperature of scenery in China is about 8000 K ~ 9500 K all the year round, and TV stations take pictures with the color temperature of 9300K for the audience in the program production. The usual color temperature in Europe and America is based on the annual average color temperature of about 6000K, so when we look at those foreign films, we will find that 5600 K ~ 6500 K is the most suitable for watching. Therefore, when we suddenly see the screens of computers or televisions in Europe and America, we think that the color temperature is red and warm. That is, people with black eyes see that 9300K is white, and people with blue eyes look blue; People with blue eyes at 6500K look white, while people in China look yellow.
