What is the actual color of the Sun?

Many would say the Sun is yellow, or is it? Most of people thought in kindergarden or even earlier to draw the Sun yellow.

Color of stars

Different temperature stars emit different colors. All stars emit all colors but they peak at one of them, it depends on surface temperature.

Class	Surface temperature (kelvins)	Color
O	> 33 000K	blue
B	10 000K - 30 000K	blue white
A	7 500K - 10 000K	white to blue white
F	6 000K - 7 500K	white
G	5 200K - 6 000K	yellowish white
K	3 700K - 5 200K	yellow orange
M	< 3 700K	orange red

Suns surface temperature is 5 778K and is class G which means it's yellowish white.

Does this look like yellowish white to you?

Or does it look yellow when you look up in the sky? (don't do that, its not healthy)
Actually Sun is yellow when you look at it from the Earth. If Sun emits white light, as it passes through Earths atmosphere blue light is scattered. Which is the reason why the sky is blue. And if you subtract blue light from white you get yellow.
As seen here.

If Sun is white, then what is that glowing orange ball of death you see everywhere on the internet?

Most images of Sun were taken by Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft. SOHO spacecraft can only detect 17.1 nm, 19.5 nm, 28.4 nm, and 30.4 nm wavelength light which is far less than human eye can detect (390 - 700 nm). The reason they chose those wavelengths is because they correspond to the wavelengths emitted by ionized iron and helium, meaning it can capture details in the sun's corona that would normally be obscured by the visible light in the photosphere. Images taken by SOHO spacecraft are then colored red, green, yellow or blue, so we could observe different things on Suns surface easier.

There you go, you were lied to your whole life. :/
