For the purposes of the conversation, its's a rating on the color of the light output. Lower Kelvin numbers are at the yellow end of the light spectrum and higher Kelvin numbers are at the blue/violet end of the light spectrum.

Kelvin is a temperature scale, it is used to determine color temperature.

4500 K is generally white light.

4200 K tends to have a slightly yellow-ish cast.
4800 K tends to have a blue cast.

5200 K is purple-ish.

This is not the actual temperature, it is the color of the light in the RGB scale.

Degrees Kelvin is also used for actual temperatures.
