Thermal Radiation Behavior of Non-Black Bodies: I'm Confused!

[QUOTE="hutchphd, post: 6288662, member: 635497"] Non-black bodies do not necessarily emit the same color or [I]spectral intensity[/I] as a black body. However the amount of every wavelength in every direction of thermal radiation emitted by a body at temperature [I]T[/I], black or not, is equal to the corresponding amount that the body absorbs. [I]If[/I] the body emits a constant (over wavelength) fraction of the intensity of a perfect black it is usually called a [I]gray[/I] body. I believe wikipedia does a pretty good job on this subject.
