As I mentioned earlier, the actual color of the Sun is white, although it can look to us like it is yellow, orange or even shades of red. The reality is that the color of the energy that the Sun emits, all mixed together, is white. However, as we see it, these colors are scattered by the Earth's atmosphere, especially the blue colors, which is why the sky is colored blue. This leaves the Sun appearing to us as a yellow or orange color.
