There are professional light meters designed specifically to read in degress Kelvin. However, have you checked your camera\’s manual/menu? White balance is rarely an issue with digital cameras, especialliy outdoors where basically you\’re dealing with sunlit and shaded areas. The color shifts are primarily toward blue and yellow/orange. It your camera\’s internal light meter is reading in sunlight, shadows will shift to blue. If your initernal camera meter is reading in a predominently shaded area, sunlit areas will shift toward yellow/orange. That\’s just the way things are.

If your camera is shifting into hues you find unsatisfactory, you may have a manual option. If you do, you can compensate by adjusting for the white balance you find more pleasing. Your manual or menu should provide you with options you can experiment with.

If you\’\'re getting color shifts outdoors that are different than toward blue or yellow/orange, your camera calibrations need checked by a reputable camera reppairman.
