Selecting the color temperature

The image on your monitor is a combination of red, green, and blue signals. The intensity, or color temperature, of these signals can be changed to one of three settings: 9300 K (the default, which appears bluish), 6500 K (which is page white), or 5000 K (which appears reddish). At a higher color temperature, white appears as a slightly cooler, bluer white, while at a lower color temperature, white appears as a slightly warmer white. You can change the color temperature according to your personal preference or what is suitable for a particular application.
