However, if you require extra color temperatures, you can also add up to five custom
color temperatures–four “User” and one “Interpolated”–by defining them within the
Advanced Color Temperature menu or in the Adjust Primary Colors (CSC) menu
(each defaults to 6500K until then). Any “User” or “Interpolated” temperature
created here is immediately applied, or it can be selected at any time from the Image
