YES: the color sequence seen as an object is heated to successively higher temperatures is black, red, orange, yellow, white, and bluish white.
Example in a candle flame, the color tells us about the temperature: The outer core of the candle flame is light blue (that is the hottest part of the flame) and the color inside the flame becomes white, yellow, orange and finally red. The further you reach to the center of the flame, the lower the temperature will be.

light red, dark red, bright red, yellowish red, light white, white
