Detect if Night Shift mode is active on iOS

Tags:

I have looked a bit in the iOS 9.3 API Diffs, as well as searching the developer website and forums and did not see any references.

Is it possible to determine if Night Shift is active? I would assume that applications which require true color tone would want to alert a user if the screen colors were being augmented by the system.
