What is the color of The Sun?



It's white. It emits all the colors equally more or less. This, in physics, is known as "white". If the sun were actually the color we observe then all the objects we observe would be of the same color. Which is not the case. take the example of blue bulb and white bulb. If a blue bulb is lit in a room the room would be in bluish tint. But with a white bulb then it would be normal. The sun emits not just from visual spectrum but from all the frequencies except gamma rays. This includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. The sun emits all these colors because it is a thermal body and emits light through the process of thermal radiation.
