"false color" is not to say color doesn't actually exist in these objects, because they definitely do. They reflect temperature.

In order of increasing temperature, we have: red, orange, yellow, white, and blue. This can actually be observed in the flame on your stove at home. Where the flame first comes out of the jets it is hottest (blue). As the flames stretches out into the air, it cools to red and orange. -etl
