Oops. I take that back. I was comparing the screen to a printed version of
the photograph on paper. Here's how to compare the two. First display the
Acrobat document, then bring up the temperature color bars. (Move them both
to the same screen if you two display screens.)

I think this side-by-side view shows that the color in the photograph is
similar to the light orange around 950°C. Maybe it verges on the 900°C
darker orange.
