belated edit: My comment about “whatever, the temperature is high” is silly. The mean photon energy is about 2.7kT, which scales in direct proportion the interest bits of the Maxwell-Boltzmann and Bose-Einstein distributions (see [0] and [1]). At 2.7kT, the curves are pretty close, but you don’t have to go down that far to get a big difference. So tagging all the light would cause a substantial change in the sun’s color.
