I'm doing a report on stage lighting, and I want to do a section on color variables. I noticed (and was told) that the brightness of a light will effect the color that comes out of the lamp. Does anyone know why this is? Sources would be fantastic, as I need a reliable source for my bibliography. Thanks for the time.

Inan incandescent lamp, the color emitted from the tungsten filament depends upon the temperature of the filament, which in turn depends about the relationship of current and resistance. As current increases, the temperature (color) and the amount of light (brightness) both increase, so that the source goes through a range from dull, dim red, through orange to yellow to bright white light.

The brightness should not effect the color. Scientifically, by physics, it does not work.
