What color should the star be in projector mode at 300 K? #52

Should the star be black in projector mode at 300 K? My guess is yes, but I felt it safer to ask the more science literate. I'm hesitant since I can easily see this being an oversight. The star would be black without projector mode at this temperature so that it is invisible on a black background, but I don't know if that's because it should actually be black or we are just trying to hide it. Should it be white in projector mode?

Black would be correct, basically to our eyes, things at 300 K do not "glow"
