I didn’t mean in that way, technically if we saw all colors at the same magnitude, the sun would look blue-green, because in actually quantitative numbers it puts out the most of those colors. However, our eyes would see white if you were in space. (ask a former astronaut) On earth though it appears yellowish.

Sun is white for all intents and purposes since it gives off so much radiation in every spectrum, and not just all of the colours we can see combined. Whiter than white, so to say.
Mars is pretty much just boring greyish-brown dirt, too. It’s all artistic impressions to make things seem less boring.
It’s kind of like how close people think the moon is. Due to pictures and movies, people seem to think it’s looming right over earth, in reality it’s further away than most people would ever think.
Even most pics you see of Mars taken by the rovers, were in black and white. NASA simply photoshop’s them to give them a reasonably accurate guess at the color.
@Lawful Girly
You think that maybe those classifications were created before they could see the star from space?
Think about it, why’s the sky blue? Because the shorter wavelengths are scattered more by the atmosphere. If you took the whole of the light you see in the sky, and add it together (as in add the blue back in at its relative intensity) I think you’ll find it’s pretty close to white.
Or just look at an un-photoshopped picture of the sun from space.
