Light temperature doesn't make any sense.

[IchigoMait]

Why does it go red at max?
Red is the lowest temp and blue is the highest technically.
So it goes from red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue from 1% to 100%, while 0 turned off.
Red, Green, Blue what we can see, the rest are just what the brain makes up.
With green though there is an issue, if for example the temp goes too high, it will have all colors being present, so you have yellowish white starts or bluish white stars, depending on the temp.

Not exactly sure what your referring to here. Are you talking about thermal vision? If so, it's blue for coldest, then red, orange, yellow, white for hotest. Not sure if this helps or not, as your not really giving any clues as to what your referencing other than light and temperatures.

[Vanadeis]

I think they are going by color temp instead - eg. red is a 'warm' color, blue is considered 'cold'. Just a theory, but since changing the light temperature only affects the color and not the actual temperature, that's my best guess :D

The devs are using the casual version how color temperature is, aka blue is cold and red is warm.
But in reality it's the opposite, coldest fire/plasma is red, then green and hottest is blue, but white is kinda mix as the temps go so high you have all wavelengths present, so the eye will catch all 3 of 'em and the brain will see just white or with just a hue of other colors, but not green anymore, or until it's pure white.

Anyway doesn't matter anymore. The devs just have it in reverse, 100% is the coldest and 0% is the hottest, as it's kinda bluish.

FYI you have wavelengths for generated color and reflected color, which are different.
Generated color aka light source, the colder it is, the redder it will be aka wavelengths are bigger and slower, and the bluer/whiter or well hotter it is the smaller and faster the wavelengths are. (aka how stars, fire, plasma etc. works)
For reflected color, it's the same for what you see, but the object itself is in reverse, as it's absorbing only the wavelengths that you won't see. (any solid matter)

The dev's don't have it in reverse, they just aren't talking about Heat/Literal temperature. It isn't Hot vs Cold, it is Color Theory. Warm Vs Cool Colors. Art, not science.

Can't you read or something, like the title, it's the same in the game, Light Temperature and Max Brightness.
I know there isn't actual temperature in the game, but a fire type light source color is based on its temperature, burned wooden logs are red, fire mostly starts out from orange, then yellow, then green (like on gas ovens), then blue (also on gas ovens), I can literally see all of the color variations of fire in my home if I wanted, besides checking the web, or literally knowing how plasma works, which where fire belongs among lightning (pure plasma) and northern lights, and the stars of course. Also you have cold plasma, which is literally cold to the touch.

At 2:53 you can see fire part specifically.
Go educate yourself about what the 4th state of matter is.

If the games description is Light Temperature for a light source that is based around fire, then it's supposed to intimidate real life not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idiotic art, which is based from people being blue so it's cold, and people being red so it's hot, that is solid matter, I already told it's the reverse for that, it reflects the light you see, but it absorbs what it is basically.
The game tells me that the 0% light temperature is bluish and 100% is absolutely red, that is literally based around the idiotic idea how to classify colours, which is totally wrong in practical science, it's literally the reverse/opposite.

Also you ever thought why blue light is worse for the eyes, while red is better, because of blue light being more intensive because of it's high energy values versus a red light.

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about you defending how to say stuff in the wrong way.
I hate people specifically who try to defend their way of doing which is wrong and redundant. And I hate the ♥♥♥♥ who ever made up the reverse order of color temperature.

The same way devs started using Chromatic Aberration which is literally a defect in a lens.

Actually I'm just disappointed for you not trying to be better.

[Vogel]

Yea, it's weird. I was confused at first as well
They should change the terminology

[Lord Pretty Pie]

How rude. And unnecessarily so. It's ok that you were wrong, you can admit it. It's ok that you didn't know Temperature has Other definitions, but digging in like that just makes you look ignorant.
YOU should try to be better, by Educating Yourself. You've learned something new today, so be Happy, instead of fighting it and lashing out at the people educating you, especially when You were the one who asked for clarification in a public forum.

[Plake]

OP seems to be new to gaming... (almost) EVERY game uses RED for hot and BLUE for cold! Gamers would be much more confused if grounded would use the way OP is asking for...

[Captain America]

Holy Crap, IchigoMait - you're like the ego lifters at the gym; nobody gives a crap how much you think you know. The devs know the target audience are gamers, dude, and to keep things intuitive for people - red is hot, blue is cold. It's SIMPLE, and that's important when it comes to communicating information to players quickly and easily.

Every post you make, Ichigo, is arrogant and condescending. Go away.

I give you the "douche of the day" award, congratulations!!!
what a hateful dude you are.

What a bizarre thing to get your panties in a twist about. In almost all game GUIs, home appliances, heat-sensing equipment, climate-control dials, etc., red is associated with heat and blue is associated with cold. YES, YES, we know that a red flame is colder than a blue flame, a red giant is colder than a blue supergiant, but that simply is not what people think of first. They think of a red-hot coal versus ice.

You'd confuse most users while trying to be a pedantic smartass. I hope you enjoy the high school chemistry unit on emissions spectra, because that sounds like it'll blow your mind. You're going to LOVE the flame test and spectroscopy.

@Ren, don't forget about daily weather reports on TV and the internet. When weather maps are presented, blue = cold, hot = red.
Literally nothing I can think of where temperature is presented to a person is done the way the OP seems to think they should have done the game.

Yes, and I'm surprised OP similarly hasn't gone off on green, as it's not a black body color. Did OP forget this? Or am I - gasp - smarter than OP? Oh, no! Oh, no, OP! It seems you've been out-pedanted!
