Does anyone have a method/equation to calculate the approximate RGB value for
a tungsten surface as a function of temperature?  I need to color a hot
surface with an appropriate color for the temperature.

Barring that, does anyone have a method/equation to convert a arbitrary
color distribution into RGB form?  (I can work out the emissivity equation
for tungsten if I need to).
