Color Balance only allows a slider and percentages?

Question

I would like the ability to input a color temperature instead of depending on a slider that lets me go from -100 to +100. But under custom WB the only option is the sliders? Why it would be valuable is that all my meters give me data with a color temp number, not a slider value.

The slider goes from -100 to +100 on RGB images, such as JPEG. That's because RGB images already have a white balance, so you can only add adjustments. If you shoot in raw, then you can set the white balance in degrees Kelvin. This applies to every camera manufacturer and every camera model.
