Radiative equilibrium of an atmosphere in which the departures from greyness are small-scale in frequency, although they may be arbitrarily strong is considered. It is shown that one may use a statistical approach to describe the small-scale dependence of the intensity on frequency, retaining at the same time all the information on large-scale variations of the intensity with frequency. This description is based on the use of a new concept introduced in the paper, namely, partial intensity of radiation. It is assumed that the opacity probability distribution function does not vary along the spectrum and is depth-independent. Under these assumptions the temperature profile is shown to satisfy a homogeneous integral equation with a symmetrical displacement kernel. This equation is a generalization of the Milne equation.
