+There is a collection of predefined colour
+temperatures that are accessable in form
+of constants. None of these (except those
+from the D series) colour temperatures are
+exact or guaranteed to even be approximate
+values. A few of them are from Wikipedia,
+others are from @emph{very} questionable
+sources. Some values are, as indicated by
+their name, those used in f.lux.
+
+Warning: f.lux is nasty software that is
+extremely negative in the freedom dimension.
+Values are not verified, they are only
+acquired from f.lux's ``Frequently asked
+questions''.
