Editing Color temperature (section)

{{unreferenced section|date=June 2012}}
In the desktop publishing industry, it is important to know a monitor's color temperature. Color matching software, such as Apple's [[List of macOS components#ColorSync Utility|ColorSync Utility]] for MacOS, measures a monitor's color temperature and then adjusts its settings accordingly. This enables on-screen color to more closely match printed color. Common monitor color temperatures, along with matching [[standard illuminant]]s in parentheses, are as follows:

*5000&nbsp;K (CIE D50)
*5500&nbsp;K (CIE D55)
*6500&nbsp;K ([[CIE Standard Illuminant D65|D65]])
*7500&nbsp;K (CIE D75)
*9300&nbsp;K

D50 is scientific shorthand for a [[standard illuminant]]: the daylight spectrum at a correlated color temperature of 5000&nbsp;K. Similar definitions exist for D55, D65 and D75. Designations such as ''D50'' are used to help classify color temperatures of [[light table]]s and viewing booths. When viewing a [[Reversal film|color slide]] at a light table, it is important that the light be balanced properly so that the colors are not shifted towards the red or blue.

[[Digital camera]]s, web graphics, [[DVD]]s, etc., are normally designed for a 6500&nbsp;K color temperature. The [[sRGB standard]] commonly used for images on the Internet stipulates a 6500&nbsp;K display [[white point]].

[[Microsoft Windows]] prior to [[Windows 10]] are use [[sRGB]] as default display color space, and use 6500 K as default display color temperature. [[Windows 10 1607]] have supports for [[high dynamic range]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=windows-driver-content |title=HEVC 10-Bit HDR Streaming Playback Test 1 |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/testref/7ecb10c2-5c2d-4f67-a29c-6ffeb9da2812 |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=learn.microsoft.com |language=en-us}}</ref> [[Windows 11 22H2]] have supports for Auto Color Management (ACM) which further optimized for [[OLED]] monitors by reading [[EDID]] data.<ref> {{Cite web |title=Auto color management in Windows 11 - Microsoft Support |url=https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/auto-color-management-in-windows-11-64a4de7f-9c93-43ec-bdf1-3b12ffa0870b |access-date=2024-09-04 |website=support.microsoft.com}}</ref>
