We don't actually know if that's the planet's parent star. A star's color is determined by its temperature just like a fire's color. (Red=cold, Blue=hot) Based on my observations, 4546A is a G-class star burning between 5,200 and 6,000 Kelvin just like our sun. Now, there are two possibilities as to this "oversight".

First: The star is a Yellow Dwarf that's too far away to effectively heat the planet. If this is the case, then it therefore gets its heat from its two moons, which causes Tidal Friction. Tidal Friction pulls magma closer to the surface, which creates an extremely active volcanic system. This would mean that Planet 4546B is actually an ice planet with a tropical "water band", which would create terrible storms as the cold air meets hot water.

Second: The star is actually a rare phenomenon known as a "Yellow Giant". Stars always end up as one of two types, huge and bright or small and dim. Yellow stars meet in the center of this balancing act, as they're dwarf stars that glow brightly. As a Yellow Giant, this allows the star to be so far away since its habitable zone would be extended further outward and reach 4546B despite the distance.

These are the best ideas I could construct for solving the oversight, hopefully someone agrees.
