mired
Sign in to saveContracted from the term micro reciprocal degree, the mired () is a unit of measurement used to express color temperature. Values in mireds are calculated by the formula: M = \frac{1\,000\,000 \,\text{K{T}, where T is the colour temperature in units of kelvins and M denotes the resulting mired dimensionless number. The constant is one million kelvins.

The SI term for this unit is the reciprocal megakelvin (MK−1), shortened to mirek, but this term has not gained traction.
