Photography - Colour Temperature

Tungsten - in the region of 3200 degrees Kelvin
Flourescent -
Daylight - in the region of 5000 - 5500 degrees Kelvin
Flash - has a temperature around 5500 degress Kelvin
Cloudy - in the region of 6000 - 6500 degress Kelvin
Shade - in the region of 8000 - 22000 degrees Kelvin

Shooting RAW
One of the advantages of shooting RAW files rather JPEGs is that you can adjust the white balance retrospectively on your computer. You can do that with JPEG images to a degree by adjusting the colour balanc, but there's an important difference JPEG images have already been processed once by the camera, according to the original white balance setting - some colour information will have been discarded, and you can't get it back. RAW files save all the image data unprocessed. The white balance setting you chose when shooting is stored with the image as an instruction, which can be used by the RAW processing software later - it hasn't actually changed the image data in any way. So RAW files have big advantages when you're working in difficult conditions where you're not quite certain of the lighting at the time of shooting.

tungsten lighting can vary considerably in colour temperature. Household lights can be close to the 2800 degrees Kelvin average we describe or they can be considerably warmer - 2400 degress Kelvin. In the meantime, professional studio tungsten lighting is designed to be closer to daylight and may have a colour temperature as high as 3200 - 3400 degrees Kelvin.
