   A black body at room temperature (23 C (296 K; 73 F)) radiates mostly   
   in the infrared spectrum, which cannot be perceived by the human   
   eye,[6] but can be sensed by some reptiles. As the object increases in   
   temperature to about 500 C (773 K; 932 F), the emission spectrum gets   
   stronger and extends into the human visual range, and the object   
   appears dull red. As its temperature increases further, it emits more   
   and more orange, yellow, green, and blue light (and ultimately beyond   
   violet, ultraviolet).
