Hi and thanks, my confusion with this particular slider has already been cleared up by on this same thread. cause of my confusion and what I’m still unclear about is other temperature slider found in post processing section behaves opposite ( & lower values to left, & higher values to right right) from one you are mentioning now. I know it’s a petty thing to worry about but it bugs me slightly, could you please confirm if this different behavior found on post processing temperature slider is intended and if so, which scale it is conforming to, if any at all?

Hi -
Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this one. White Balance Color Temperature works as an antagonist to Light Color Temperature. In real world on a camera (as in engine post processing) White Balance is supposed to counteract or neutralize tinting effects of specific light source. So for example if your light has a color temperature of 3000K it would appear very orange in nature. To offset that Orange tint you can set your White Balance to same temperature and it will produce a tint which will neutralize orange tint creating a neutral white in scene.
Hopefully that makes sense, but if not please let me know and I will try to explain further -
