Is there a way to manually change the Emission Color of a material? Currently I linked the Emission to the "Black Body Emission", but I have a hard time to nail the color I would like to have only with the Temperatur value. Is there a color picker node for that? Or how should I proceed if I would like, for example to create a "Green" Emissive color?

The Black Body Emission is used to emulate things like tungsten lamps etc, it only emits "warm white" to "cold white" light (depending on the temperatur in Kelvin, lower temperature = warmer/redder light, higher colder/bluer light, daylight is about 5500K - 6500K).

If you want to have a specific color on the light (like green) you have to use the Texture Emission, and then connect a RGBSpectrum (or Gaussian Spectrum, or any appropriate texture) to the Texture input.

Thank you for the explanation, Chris.

Nice! Thx Chris!
