But the question I've been trying to ask, isn't the color adjusted by
the emissivity factor? So if the emissivity is 0.75, then doesn't this
mean that the observed color is less than the actual temperature?

Maybe Jed is right. See this "subjective" colour temperature chart:

Contrast with this chart which are presumably the "true" temperature
colours.

When does the eye percieve orange light as white light? Does it has
something to do with the intensity of the organge light?
