While at first the idea that a colour has a specific temperature might seem weird, there is a direct correlation even if the science behind it is tied up in the wavelengths of light and the wacky ...

Lighting with a higher colour temperature (4000 - 6000K) is installed in the kitchen also because of hygiene concerns. Adequate lighting is conducive to effective cleaning and spotting dirt and grime.

We typically measure color temperature in Kelvin and you’ll find values typically lie in the range of 4,000 to 7,000K. Why Kelvin when we’re not talking about a display’s actual temperature?
