I have to confess a bit of ignorance and ashamedly so being both an artist and science nerd.

I have just read that the comparison came from William Kelvin's heating of a block of carbon and noting the color of the glow. Fascinating thread, carry on.philip964 wrote:03Lightningrocks wrote:<SNIP>
Color temperature is in degrees Kelvin such as 5000K.
