Auto white balance (AWB) is the camera function that estimates the color of the light in a scene and corrects colors so neutral objects appear neutral.
A camera color profile in photography translates a sensor's raw RGB values into standard colors, defining hue, saturation and tone after white balance.
A color cast is an unwanted tint that shifts the colors of a whole photograph toward one hue, usually caused by light color or wrong white…
A color checker is a reference chart of precisely measured color and gray patches used to set white balance and build accurate camera color profiles.
Color gamut in photography is the range of colors a color space, display or printer can reproduce, which limits how saturated images appear.
Kelvin is the unit used to express color temperature in photography, describing how warm or cool a light source appears and guiding white balance.
Tint is the white balance control that shifts colors along the green-magenta axis, correcting casts that the Kelvin temperature slider cannot fix.
White balance in photography is the correction that neutralizes the color of the light source so that neutral objects are rendered without a color cast.
