Not exaclty the answer to what the OP asked but I thought I would post this for curiosity's sake. The colour temperature (as some may know) corresponds to the peak wavelength of the radiation of a blackbody at that temperature. To find this wavelength (should you be so inclined), you can use Wien's Displacement Law:

wavelength (meters) = 0.002898 / temperature (Kelvin)

So a peak of 700 nm (very red) corresponds to about 4,140 K.
