So, for an extremely hot blackbody, the spectrum of light we can actually see with our eyes is governed by the Rayleigh–Jeans law.

This doesn't make sense to me. If we're talking about what color our eyes would see, all our cones would be 100% saturated. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we would still perceive that as white regardless of where the spectrum peak is.
