CIE standard illuminant D50 is intended to mathematically represent ‘horizon’ daylight in the early morning or late afternoon.
It's relative spectral power distribution is that of a blackbody radiator at a temperature of approximately 5000 K.
Illuminant D50 should be used in colorimetric calculations where the use of such a correlated color temperature is intended.
It's the most commonly used illuminant in the graphic arts industry.
