  2. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    Color temperature is a parameter describing the color of a visible light source by comparing it to the color of light emitted by an idealized opaque, non-reflective body. The temperature of the ideal emitter that matches the color most closely is defined as the color temperature of the original visible light source.

  3. Red heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_heat

    Red heat. Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on this hot metalwork. The practice of using colours to determine the temperature of a piece of (usually) ferrous metal comes from blacksmithing. Long before thermometers were widely available, it was necessary to know what state the metal was in for heat treating it and the only way to ...

  4. Incandescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescence

    Incandescence is the emission of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light) from a hot body as a result of its high temperature. [1] The term derives from the Latin verb incandescere, to glow white. [2] A common use of incandescence is the incandescent light bulb, now being phased out . Incandescence is due to thermal radiation.

  5. Shades of orange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_orange

    Shades of orange. In optics, orange has a wavelength between approximately 585 and 620 nm and a hue of 30° in HSV color space. In the RGB color space it is a secondary color numerically halfway between gamma-compressed red and yellow, as can be seen in the RGB color wheel. The complementary color of orange is azure.

  6. Orange (colour) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(colour)

    Orange is the colour between yellow and red on the spectrum of visible light. Human eyes perceive orange when observing light with a dominant wavelength between roughly 585 and 620 nanometres. In traditional colour theory, it is a secondary colour of pigments, produced by mixing yellow and red.

  7. List of colors by shade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors_by_shade

    Brown colors are dark or muted shades of reds, oranges, and yellows on the RGB and CMYK color schemes. In practice, browns are created by mixing two complementary colors from the RYB color scheme (combining all three primary colors). In theory, such combinations should produce black, but produce brown because most commercially available blue ...

    5 x + 32) °F. The degree Celsius is the unit of temperature on the Celsius temperature scale [1] (originally known as the centigrade scale outside Sweden), [2] one of two temperature scales used in the International System of Units (SI), the other being the closely related Kelvin scale. The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific ...
