Ehh, the CMB doesn't come from stars, so bringing it up in this context is a bit of a red herring.

Being right for the wrong reason can be even worse than being wrong. CMB is very relevant to the question of the color of the sky, it just happens to be pre-star material.

True, but the physics that produced the CMB during recombination is the same as the physics that produces light in stellar atmospheres.
