With half our customers using one white point, and the other half using another, around half our customers are seeing our images looking appalling. Sucks, but there's nothing we can do.
We're now balancing for 6500k, for what it's worth.

I think 6500 is pretty standard for images. 9300 is way on the blue end of the scale, and it'll make most images (except for ones that have been specifically balanced for that colour temperature) look pretty unpleasant (unless you have a thing for smurfs).

Somehow, I think we must be missing something here. Apropos this chat, I followed some links offered above and some links from those and, somewhere, read that most monitors are, indeed, at that higher, "bluish" setting. I have to wonder, no more than I know on this subject, whether it is possible to then take the "bluish" monitor and adjust it, still while at that standard temperature setting, to simply offset the tint through other levels of color balancing.
(Or, vice-versa!)
Hard to believe that two of us could look, side-by-side at the same images on the same website and be happy to see such different skin-tones!
I have to say that the "newbies", just above, have a point!
