This app measures the color temperature of ambient light in Kelvin and tint using your device's camera. It helps photographers match white balance and choose lighting gels by providing readings, light types, and comparisons to common light sources. Save and export your measurements for later use.

• On phones with more than one rear camera, Color Temperature Meter+ could keep showing the same Kelvin value whatever light it was pointed at. It now takes the white balance reading from the rear camera that is actually in use, to address readings that stayed on one value. • FREEZE, calibration, Photography WB Assist, Saved and Reference work as before; saved readings and settings carry over.
MoreColor Temperature Meter+ measures the color temperature of light in Kelvin and tint using your device's camera. It provides information like light type, suggests camera white balance presets, and helps with photography by calculating mired shifts for gels.
The app reads your iPhone's camera's estimate of the light falling on a surface. For best results, point the camera at a plain white or grey surface lit by the light you want to measure, not directly at the light source itself. The reading stabilizes within seconds.
Yes, you can freeze the current reading and save it. Saved readings include the Kelvin, mired, light type, and matching white-balance preset, along with the date and time. The app keeps the latest 50 readings, which can be exported as a CSV file.
Yes, Color Temperature Meter+ contains advertisements. As it is a free application, advertisements are used to support its development and availability.
The app reports correlated color temperature and tint, which is useful for white balance and gels. However, it is not a spectrometer and does not measure spectral power distribution, CRI, or TLCI. For critical color work, a dedicated color meter is recommended.
Based on the provided data, Color Temperature Meter+ is available on iPhone and iPad. Information regarding Android availability is not specified.
The latest version of Color Temperature Meter+ is 1.0.34, last updated on November 6, 2026. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support.
