The narrow pass band red filter is necessary so that the user is not misled by the colour of the object. Why then use a red filter rather than say green or blue? ... This kind of device is still useful for measuring the temperature of small incandescent objects such as bulb filaments. ... Blackbody Radiation Curve...

The object emits more radiation at all wavelengths. ... But then the object becomes a paler yellow and finally white, not green. Why? ... But the very hottest stars have peaks in the violet and beyond, and their blue and violet emission is so much greater than their red and yellow that the stars appear blue-white.

We perceive it as yellow-orange but from the above diagram its peak is within the green visible range. Why then doesn't it appear green? ... (For the Sun to actually glow as a green incandescent body, the wavelengths on either side of the green region would have to be much less intense, i.e, depart from a radiant Black Body.)

Much of the intensity of the mercury arc lamp is expended in the near-ultraviolet and blue spectrum, with most of the high-intensity peaks occurring in the 300-450 nanometer range, except for a few higher-wavelength peaks in the green spectral region.
