The Sun has a spectral type of G2V. It's colour is yellow.

But although the Sun gives off most of its energy in the yellow-green frequencies, the light emitted is effectively white.

The yellow color and apparent texture come from the scattering of its light by Earth's atmosphere. This is evident in photographs from space. The actual granulation is invisible except under magnification, and sunspots are not discernible as 'darker' by the human eye (this requires heavy filtering).

Green Sun? The surface temperature of the Sun is about 5,778 Kelvin (although it's spectrum is not a perfect black body) you can see from graph [See related link - Star spectrum) that our Sun at that temperature is actually a pinkish peach!

The only known green star is Beta Librae [See related question] but it's not actually green as the answer will show - and also the graph.
