What color is this emission? What do we see?

It corresponds to the blue color, but we do not see blue, we see the sun's color to be yellow and white because a lot of radiation is emitted at wavelengths larger than the wavelength of the peak irradiance… blue color is overtaken by the cumulative effect of all the other colors
