What is the relationship between color and energy?

I know that different colors are "visible" at different wavelengths. So, depending on an increase/decrease in energy, you would be at varying wavelengths?

The sun gives off light in all spectrums of colour from the invisible radiation of ultra violet, through the 'white light' band from which we get visible colours, to infra red at the other end of the range.
Infra red is used in heaters, ultra violet is like a radiation which can be used (e.g. to give a false tan.)
All colour is light, all light consists of photons which are energy.

Within the visable spectrum , violet is high energy and red is the lower energy.
Blue flamea are hotter than orange
white hot is hotter
