However, all the 95% confidence intervals of the differences between any 2 sums of effective temperatures do not include 0.
A star's colour index is directly related to its effective temperature (6) so if you measure a star's colour index, you can find its effective temperature, for example from the tables in reference 7 (Figure 5).
The relationship between the effective temperature of a black body and its apparent colour to the eye has been calculated (8) and is illustrated in Figure 7.
From the relationship between a star's effective temperature and its apparent colour shown in Figure 7, we can construct a representation of the relative appearance of CQ Boo at the extremes of its size and temperature during one pulsation cycle (ignoring the effect of limb-darkening) (Figure 18).
