I think people don't understand this because red is in fact hot, but is nothing compared to blue hot.

Im so confused and i have only myself to blame
@DanielGrovePhoto Says:
So a light source can have 2 kelvins? The actual surface temperature measured in kelvin and the color it's emitting kelvin? That's tricky.
@king4him1 Says:
It was stupid to use a temperature scale to describe color. They should’ve come up with something different.
@Sirfrumpfingtonthefourth Says:
Fun fact; an incandescent lightbulb cannot glow blue because there is no material capable of withstanding those temperatures.
@Mic_Glow Says:
Using the "outdated" Kelvin scale is much better than the alternative.. you don't need to understand how the physics works and even what the "K" means in order to use it. You can get exact same colors when buying new bulbs. Meanwhile color is subjective
@PurpleYoshiEgg Says:
none of this seems like a paradox... all of this is expected if you understand the history of color temperature and functionality of the color temperature setting on a camera.
@ericstyles3724 Says:
O.K., sooo on a fkg light bulb I've observed, several times, a symbol representing colour temperature as °K.
Many purests are claiming "no degrees", but fkg 'ell, if it's representing temperature, similar but not alike to Celsius & Farenhiet, it can be in degrees FFS already, get over it. We're not all old school physicists.

@Veptis Says:
blue hot is odd, because the red part will still be glowing givign you white. So you only see blue hot in emissive surfaces that have very specific characteristics. Like gases and plasma. It's not part of the planck curve or black body radiation.

i cant wrap mymind around the fact that a candle is 2000K! i mean, is it thaaat hot!

Awesome stuff

When it’s on a screen (not a camera), is it compensation or is it direct?
@AndriiMagdych Says:
More videos on optics and camera related stuff please 🙏🥺
@ChuckRobertsMusic Says:
So do red lights psychologically feel cozier or warmer due to cultural evolution or is there a physiological reason? Is it because fire is typically redish and so evolution makes red light seem psychologically warmer or is it because the colors actually trigger a physical response?
It's a fairly powerful effect. I notice because I can change the lighting color in my studio at will, and I prefer red light when it's chilly and blue when it's warm to "psychologically" compensate for the air temp.
@lspcie Says:
And when buying a lamp, ‘warm white’ is in the yellow/orange spectrum and ‘cold white’ is in the white/blue spectrum
@DemoniteBL Says:
In everyday life things like water and ice are blue and white, while flames are orange and red. So that's ofc why we associate these colors with temperatures.
@apennameandthata2017 Says:
It’s ironic, not paradoxical.
@DioTheGreatOne Says:
Filmmakers when the movie is set in Mexico: **set camera color compensation to 9 Billion Kelvin**
@leotrollstoy Says:
Is this effect enough for atmospheric conditions on the ground to influence the picture captured by a camera?
@googleuser4720 Says:
No paradox then!
@palpalps Says:
There is no paradox. Human brains associate a ton of things the wrong way including this.
@CatPrinceHQ Says:
6000 + 7500i Kelvin is green 😂
@LeTtRrZ Says:
We could make things even more confusing if we start using color temperatures for the microwaves in microwave ovens.

Wait, tell me more about the green and magenta! That’s the only part of the video I didn’t understand.
@blooe8448 Says:
I think the reason the hot cool things exists the way it does is because we dont often have blue hot things in your every day life. Fire is red, and stuff like ice is blue, so there we have our terms.

It's a good video when I forget that I don't know what a kelvin is compared to Celsius

So Antarctica is, in Fact, incredibly hot then. Thank goodness I decided to move to Australia. I hate Heat. —W
@Trident_Gaming03 Says:
Temperature is relative, so it's not a paradox, just ironic
@peetiegonzalez1845 Says:
I absolutely love how our brains are so hard-wired to compensate for colour temperature in lighting, that it gives rise to all those "Blue dress / Black dress" optical illusions and arguments. Most people simply cannot objectively see colour, and the effect is so profound it takes some getting your head around, even when you know the explanation.
@Celastrous Says:
Ok but where was the paradox? This was just a short explainer on color temperature - that title is way too clickbaity

Aynı zamanda en parlak ışığın maviye gittiğini de söyleyebiliriz. Parlaklık=photon yoğunluğu=elekro magnetism

Etrafa saçılan elektron miktarı ile alakalı durum sanırım. Ne kadar çok elektron saçılırsa o kadar mavi ve sıcak olur demek. Yani elektro magnetism.

If it's true then why Red Super Giant being the hottest and final stage of sun (not blue)?

3:18 I like that note, "white balance" is a fucking useless and unintuitive label that I've never seen interpreted correctly by anyone who doesn't already know what it does
@FireFoxDestroyer Says:
Warm light looks like 🔥 fire, and cool light looks like 🧊 ice
@Jetlaggedlens Says:
It’s not confusing if you have even a junior high school education. We have a cultural bias yes, but if you simply remember the colour changes that metal goes through when it’s heated it’s perfectly obvious. Solve a real problem next time.
@DeepsSleeper7941 Says:
im more amazed that blue is the higher temp, while white is about in the middle, makes sense but i find it very non-intuitive.
@Menosprime Says:
I dont get it. this has no paradox. It's standard physics.
@kosah_hedron Says:
1:38 how is shaded light higher temperature?
@Scar32 Says:
was this video about color inverted the video of the drawings?
@toliveisrare Says:
I'm trying to fugue out how the video of your hands and the paper is a negative/inverted color scheme, but your hand is still skin color. Even if you used a black paper and white marker, that doesn't make sense because your hand's shadow is white. Maybe I'm dumb, but this feels like the real Paradox here lol. I like the effect and want to use it.
