UNDERSTANDING WHITE BALANCE

White balance is called color temperature. It is divided into warm lighting and cool colors. Color temperature below about 4000k is considered warm lighting and light with temperature higher than roughly 5000k is considered cool . In addition, we need to know the weather conditions and be good at choosing the appropriate white balance to use and the best lighting is probably daylight which is 5000K to 6000K color temperature range.
