white balance
Neutralizes color casts
White balance is a camera setting that adjusts colors so white objects appear truly white under different lighting conditions.
Without correction, incandescent light casts an orange tint and fluorescent light a greenish one.
Setting the white balance—automatically or manually—tells the camera what "white" looks like in the current light, so all other colors render accurately.
The photos looked too yellow until I fixed the white balance.
