It is a simple fact that a hot body will radiate and lose energy to a cold body. Their colour is immaterial.

The Sun is a black body radiator. It just happens to have a surface temperature of about 5000C.

We are now talking about infra red long wavelength radiation. The colour of the emitter is still immaterial.
