We measure the color of light in Kelvins, the color of the glow that a black body radiator would have if it were heated to that many degrees Kelvin.

Yep, I've since learned that. And also that its a poor measurement to use when comparing fluorescent to incandescent light because the former is not full spectrum like the latter.

It's like horsepower for a car, an ancient measurement that doesn't really mean much as a single number.

Come on. Ever used a color meter? Visual color of light is the same. Spectrum has nothing to do with it. Otherwise the film making, bulb making, and the entire movie industry would go nuts.
