Moonlight Color Temperature

Thus it has a lower color temperature at about 4125K.

Moonlight color temperature. Moonlight usually appears to be around 4100K. Traditional incandescent bulb 2700 K. Here are the approximate correlated color temperatures of common light sources.

It may be wrong to provide information on this issue while there are not enough observations measurements researches and experiments. The colour temperature difference between the HMIs and the firelight is huge. If you look at the moon it appears much whiter than the sun.

Note that the CCT of north light is actually. The difference of temperature works we to understand is the source of cooling depends on moonlight or only existance of the moon. If the only light in the scene is moonlight just use a daylight source like daylight Kinos and dial in a degree of color temp on the camera that gets you the shade of blue you want.

The majority of monitors these days can be set up for equivalent color temperature between 5000 K referred to as D50 and 6500 K referred to as D65 but some of them might have higher 9300 K. Moonlight 4100 K. So why does the moon look so white.

A cooler color temperature is needed and the bluegreen hue that simulates moonlight can be had with a 4100K bulb. On a clear day the sun shines at around 5000K. Darius Wolksi ASC made this remark to American Cinematographer in 2007 about HMI moonlight on the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

If this were printed without a DI the night would be candy blue and the faces would be red. Every blue LED Ive seen used for moonlight is both brighter and the wrong color temperature. Moonlight is about 4000K and maxs out at 32 lux a lot less than 1 PAR at the oceans surface.
