For you graphics people or web developers out there, the exact color of the sun is #fff5f2. The reason the Sun looks yellow to us on Earth is that our atmosphere scatters light from the Sun; so the apparent color of the sun changes.

He also says that the color of the universe is #ffe1d1 (#FFE1D1) and not Cosmic Latte (#FFF8E7)
