color temperature vs. color accuracy

Color temperature refers to the perceived warmth or coolness of light, measured in Kelvin, where higher values indicate cooler (bluish) light and lower values indicate warmer (yellowish) light. On the other hand, color accuracy refers to how faithfully an object's colors are reproduced under a given light source, usually measured using a CRI (Color Rendering Index) or a similar metric. So, while color temperature relates to the overall hue of light, color accuracy pertains to how well colors are reproduced under that particular light.
