What Color Is the Sun?

Hot Debate. What Color is the Sun? Yellow or White? Earlier in the year, this question sparked a debate on Twitter. They found when small children draw the sun, they usually draw a yellow circle with yellow lines extending from it. In reality, however, the sun in the sky during the day appears mostly white. We've always found that the combination of yellow and white strikes the perfect note of bright yet mellow. A yellow and white artwork will invigorate you every time you walk past it - just like a dose of sunlight.
