Hi Martin,

Have a look here Colour Temperature Chart

As you can see, a lower temperature is towards the red end of the scale whereas a higher temperature is towards the blue end. I would go for 6500K since this is the closest to normal daylight, but this temperature is subjective and will depend on your monitor, what you are viewing on it, and the ambient light of its surroundings. At the end of the day, it really comes down to what looks the best for you.

Hi Dwarf, thanks for answering, I know what color temp means, Im just wandering what user prefer and why.

Just like you I go for the 6500K since this was the default setting, changing to 9300K noticed I was accustomed to the 6500k, plus I see more blueish in the
9300K.

What does other user go for??
