The CamWise White Balance Visualizer helps you see how different light sources appear under various camera white balance settings—just like they would in-camera. Each swatch above represents a fixed light source (like tungsten, daylight, or shade) and shifts in color as you move the white balance slider.
Tip: Use this tool to help choose gels, set white balance manually, or teach clients and teammates how lighting color and WB interact in real life.
White Balance Visualizer
This tool is designed to offer a fast, intuitive way to visualize how color temperature and white balance interact on set or in post—not to provide exact measurements. It’s a helpful guide for training your eye, prepping for shoots, or explaining concepts to clients and collaborators.
Note: This tool is for visualization only and should not replace a color meter or professional lighting workflow.
Color temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin (K). Lower values (like 3200K) appear warm and orange; higher values (like 8000K) appear cool and blue. Your camera’s white balance setting aims to neutralize these tones—ideally matching the source temperature so whites appear white. But creative mismatches can be used to shift mood and tone intentionally.
