2.2: All Herbig AE/BE stars are now yellow colored

For what it's worth: I noticed that with the update to 2.2 all Herbig AE/BE stars are now yellow colored, regardless of their spectral type. In 2.1 and before, in my experience only VA, VB and VAB types were yellow colored, while VI types were white, or blue-white colored.

Today I visited both an AEBE3 VI and an AEBE8 VI type system, and was surprised to see that those were yellow colored. This made me recheck systems that I had previously visited and that I know were white or blue-white colored at that time. Of course I could only call up the system map for those systems, but this should generally match what one would see if one were to actually travel to these systems. Anyway, I found that now all those Herbig AE/BE stars are yellow colored - even one that I had visited just the night before the update to 2.2 and for which I have a screenshot to prove that it was blue-white.

I wonder if this is a bug, or has been corrected by FDev to better match reality. Either way it's a pity because it reduces variety. I'll have to recheck Wolf-Rayets next, because those were also available in a variety of colors (white, blue-white, red, yellow, and even brown in one rare case that I know of).
 
Im actually liking the change, it reduces the visual variance, but theres enough graphical optimisations and other additions to make up for it.
 
Awww, nnoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, cool I guess, but the one thing I'm most proud of ever discovering in the galaxy was an odd and rare red/orange colored rotating Herbig star out on the other side of the core, near the Abyssal Plain:

Ah well, I guess it's not so rare now anymore. [sad]
 
I agree Mengy. I have a personal bucket list I put together (well i copied it from the forums but I've greatly added to it) and a Red Herbig remains UN-checked.
Hopefully it's just another bug.
I'm finding myself tired of saying that.[sad]
 
Patch notes:

Prevent luminosity class VI sub-dwarf protostars selecting a white dwarf as it's nearest visual class (Please note: a side effect of this is that various TTauri or Herbig protostars will change from white to red/purple. This is not a bug, and is a slightly better representation of their actual temperatures)
