I have always wondered why the cooler temperatures are higher numbers and warmer ones are lower.
Hi Martin, this is because the numbers actually are linked or related to temperature (kelvin) and as things like stars get hotter they glow red, yellow and then blue to white I believe. You might also find chapter 1 of LightSource in the portrait section useful as I explain about colour spectrum.
