Hello Tom - 

CA>>> Color doesn't have a 'temperature' but light does have a
CA>>> wavelength. 

->> colour temperature is a term from the lighting industry
->> refering to the black-body spectrum given at the specified
->> temperature, or to lamps with an apparenlty similar
->> temperature. 

TW> It is also used in the Film Industry. It usualy referes to
TW> the "White" light temperature. And it is expressed in Deg K
TW> As an example my perfered Cool White Fluroscent Lamps are
TW> rated at 4100K Even most Home Incidencent Lamps have a
TW> "Temperature Rating" on the Box. 

How many people look for 'temperature' when they purchase a
bulb? 

I realize that the decision to apply 'temperature' to color was
not made here at FIDO but reasonable people can grasp the fact
that there is no 'temperature' that would apply to color in any
meaningful way. 

Sorry but this is what we used to call poppy-cock. 

I reserve the right to reject nonsensical terminology.
