Blackbody effect hypothetical question

[Badmouton]

According to the blackbody effect, can something be so hot that it emits no visible light?
I say this because the more heated an object is, the more it moves away from the visible light spectrum, does that apply until there is no light at all?

Not really. The spectrum of the emitted radiation includes all wavelengths. What happens is that the peak moves to ultraviolet or even x-rays, but it is still visible.

 

[Nabeshin]

As you heat a body, the energy it emits in any particular wavelength band strictly increases, so even though you are proportionally increasing the amount emitted in UV or x-ray, you are still increasing the amount in the visual spectrum.

As demonstrated here:-

I would like to know if it ever gets 'blue hot'.

Google says yes - blue stars.
