What color temp is daylight white?
Color temperatures between 3100K and 4500K are referred to as “cool white” or “bright white.” Light bulbs within this range will emit a more neutral white light and may even have a slightly blue tint. Above 4500K brings us into the “daylight” color temperature of light.
Is daylight 4000K or 5000K?

| 5500 – 6000K | Vertical daylight, electronic flash |
What does 5000K daylight mean?
Category: General. 5000K CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) is the closest to natural daylight. It has a cool, blue-white tint, different from the more traditional warm yellow-orange tint. 5000K LED lights are perfect for larger areas and task-lighting.

The three primary types of color temperature for light bulbs are: Soft White (2700K – 3000K), Bright White/Cool White (3500K – 4100K), and Daylight (5000K – 6500K). The higher the Degrees Kelvin, the whiter the color temperature.
