Mike T: How do I “color correct” a lighting fixture to get it closer to the color temp of daylight?
I admit that I don’t know much about lighting. I was reading an article that said that when shooting video in a room with lots of daylight coming in through the windows, one should “color correct” the lighting fixtures in the room to get them closer to the color temperature of the daylight. What exactly does that mean and how is that done? Thanks.

daylight coming in from outside is between 5600deg Kelvin and 10000deg kelvin.
You can buy gels that will add blue to the tungsten light to make it more match the bright white from outside. Or you can use the color differences to contrast.
