The whitepoint of a color display monitor is the color temperature of the monitor. The color temperature is stated in degrees Kelvin (K) and represents how warm or cool the white of the monitor is. Uncalibrated monitors generally have a very blue white (often as high as 9300K) The printing industry uses a standard called D5000 which is 5000K and closely resembles Daylight.
Adjusting whitepoint in an image restores contrast to the image without affecting the pinkish (flesh tones) in the image.
