A list of standardized illuminants, their CIE chromaticity coordinates (x,y) of a perfectly reflecting (or transmitting) diffuser, and their correlated color temperatures (CCTs) are given below. The CIE chromaticity coordinates are given for both the 2 degree field of view (1931) and the 10 degree field of view (1964). [1]

The house above appears a light cream during midday, but seems to be bluish white here in the dim light before full sunrise. Note the color temperature of the sunrise in the background. Video camera operators can white-balance objects that are not white, downplaying the color of the object used for white-balancing. For instance, they can bring ...

Researchers use daylight as the benchmark to which to compare color rendering of electric lights. In 1948, daylight was described as the ideal source of illumination for good color rendering because "it (daylight) displays (1) a great variety of colors, (2) makes it easy to distinguish slight shades of color, and (3) the colors of objects around us obviously look natural".
There’s a reason why Cool December by Dunn Edwards has been Breegan Jane’s go-to white for 10 years and counting. “[It] strikes the perfect balance and always seems to do the trick for me ...
The CIE recommends that "The concept of correlated color temperature should not be used if the chromaticity of the test source differs more than Δ uv = 5×10-2 from the Planckian radiator." [ 22 ] Beyond a certain value of Δ uv , a chromaticity co-ordinate may be equidistant to two points on the locus, causing ambiguity in the CCT.
