Examples Mired

mired difference can approximated such tool

a blue sky, has color temperature t of 25,000 k, has mired value of m = 40 mireds, while standard electronic photography flash, having color temperature t of 5000 k, has mired value of m = 200 mireds.

in photography, mireds used indicate color temperature shift provided filter or gel given film , light source. instance, use tungsten light (3200 k) in natural light (say, 5700 k) without introducing color cast, 1 need corrective filter or gel providing mired shift of
