Greetings,

      There is a multitude of color charts on the web for the emission colors of steels as a function of temperature. 

     We're looking for a reference that we can use in a journal paper.

Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for your consideration.  Lacking a thermal camera, we're trying to give an approximate temperature range that the 304 stainless reached as a sample cup over a propane flame.  We have pictures of the emission color.  We'd like a technical reference that we can point to and say "orange" indicates this ....

All,

The article "Temper Colors for Steels" in ASM Handbook, Vol. 4D, "Heat Treating of Irons and Steels,", J. Dossett and G.E. Totten, editors, pages 550 and 551 addresses this subject in Figure 1 for plain carbon steels.
