"Those who cook on gas know that it is the high-energy (short-wave) blue flames which do most of the heating and even those who do not are likely to be aware that it is the even shorter, higher-energy waves, the ultra-violet, which burn our skin. Yet in common usage it is the long-wave red end of the spectrum which is felt as warm and the blue as cool."

--John Gage, Color And Culture
