Which statement about warmth and coolness controls on the Color page is accurate?

• A. Kelvin is a primary slider in the Primaries panel.
• B. Kelvin can be adjusted as a setting within Primaries.
• C. Kelvin is a measurement of warmth/coolness and there is no Kelvin control in Primaries; Tint controls the green/magenta axis; Saturation controls color strength.
• D. Saturation controls brightness.

Answer: (C)

Warmth and coolness on the Color page come from white balance controls. The setting you adjust is Temperature, which uses Kelvin as its unit to shift toward warmer (orange) or cooler (blue) tones. There isn’t a separate control labeled Kelvin in Primaries; the temperature control is what relates to Kelvin, and Tint handles the green/magenta cast. Saturation then determines how vivid the colors are, not how bright the image appears. So, saturation affects color strength, while brightness is adjusted with the Lift/Gamma/Gain (or exposure) controls.
