kelvin degrees and colors

Kelvin degrees are a way to measure temperature.  Zero kelvin degrees correspond to zero molecular movement.  The particular color seen at a different degrees is called the color temperature.  The lowest light to be registered is red, then yellow, white, and lastly blue.  The yellow light from a tungsten lamp corresponds to 3200 kelvin degrees.  Sun midday is 5500 degrees, while anything over 6000 is slightly blue.
