I've always been told it's a yellow star. I see it in the sky as white. "daylight" fluorescents are bluish white. Wikipedia gives it's color temp as 5800K, but yellow would be <4000k and the daylight fluorescents are usually 6500K.

The Sun looks yellow to me, but I think the overall illumination is made more blue due to the atmosphere.

I think this is a funny question. The sun is white of course!
For some reason kids always draw it as yellow, but we all know that kids are idiots most of the time. It is interesting however to think about why they chose yellow. I suspect that it's simply because yellow is the complementary color to blue (which undoubtedly is the color of the sky).
I will say again; it looks like yellow to me. Whether this is a relative thing due to the surrounding blue sky, I don't know, but to my eyes the sun looks slightly yellow.
