COLOR OF LIGHTMeasured on Kelvin scale
COLOR OF LIGHTMeasured on Kelvin scale	Named for physicist William Kelvin, who discovered a block of solid 	carbon emits light at specific colors depending upon the temperature.

COLOR OF LIGHTWe can also measure light by its wavelength
COLOR OF LIGHTWe can also measure light by its wavelength	Visible light occupies the range on the electromagnetic spectrum from about 390 nm to 800 nm.

COLOR OF LIGHTIt is helpful to understand that what we call “White Light,” is actually comprised of all colors, at varying wavelengths.Not all colors reflect off all surfaces, and not all colors transmit through materials.
