Temperature

From Kelvin to color

Krystek 1985 blackbody polynomial, valid 1000 K – 40000 K:

swatch.temperature(6500);    // D65 daylight white
swatch.temperature(2700);    // warm incandescent
swatch.temperature(10000);   // cool blue sky

From color to Kelvin

McCamy 1992 inverse CCT approximation:

swatch("#ff8844").temperature();   // ≈ 2100 K
swatch("#ffffff").temperature();   // ≈ 6500 K
