Adjusting sunlight color temperature?

Hello. I'm using sunlight in some projects, and as it can be seen from the reflections on this screenshot, default color seems to be somewhere in 6500-9500K range. But I want it in 2800-3500K. Is there a way to change sunlight color temperature?

Hello @alexJ682T 

 

Most render engines use real life values for sun and various illumination models for sky.  In reality you wouldn't change the color of the sun but instead you would change the color filter on the lens.  I think you'll have better luck with a method like that, less your scene lose all orange light and reflect weirdly. 

 

That being said if you insist on changing the sun color, it would be necessary to know which render engine you are using.  (But with all of them the camera filter should work fine.)
