Right, color itself might best be explained in a chemistry class
(different bond types and valence electrons absorbing at certain
wavelengths) but color temperature is more a physics problem (black-body
radiators).

Hi Winsor,
I thought I remember our sophomore chem class heating something with a
bunsen burner to different temperatures and having the relationship
between color and degrees Kelvin explained. Oh well, having light
temperature taught in physics or astrophysics makes more sense. Thanks
for the correction. :)
