Instead of using units like "light red" or "dark red" you will use units usually associated with heat called Kelvin. And in a weird way it makes some sense because as you lower the Kelvin numbers, the overall hue of the image gets blue (cold) and you raise the Kelvin the over all image gets red (warm). But if you shoot your images in RAW then white balance becomes somewhat unimportant and can be adjusted later on your computer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
