白点White Point

调色 · Color

白点是一个色彩标准里「什么算白」的约定——白定了,其他颜色才有坐标原点。

  • 常见几档:D50、D55(约 5500K)、D65(约 6500K,显示器与 709 的标准白)、DCI。
  • 白点不匹配的后果:整片统一偏暖或偏冷——不是某个颜色错,是「白」这个原点错位了。
  • 调白点不是加滤镜:它是把坐标原点挪回正确位置,中性色回到中性。
  • 和白平衡不同:白平衡是拍摄时对现场光源的补偿;白点是色彩标准自身的定义。

A white point is the agreement inside a color standard about what counts as white — once white is fixed, every other color has an origin.

  • Common stops: D50, D55 (about 5500K), D65 (about 6500K — the standard white of monitors and 709), DCI.
  • When white points mismatch: the whole piece drifts warm or cold — not one wrong color, but the origin itself out of place.
  • Setting a white point is not a filter: it moves the origin back so neutrals return to neutral.
  • Not white balance: white balance compensates for the light on set when shooting; the white point is the color standard's own definition.
