Why is the moon white in color although the sun is yellow in color?
Because the moon is really cold and dark and does not produce it's own light. Instead the sun, which does produce its own light, shines on the moon which makes it look like it shines white light [or makes the moon look white] when its not. Its just the reflected sunlight from the sun. Also the reason why the sun produces a yellow color is because of some type of crucial chemical or chemicals mix and make the color and I also think the billions of hot gases inside it might have some effect on the color too.

What would someone mean by saying 'it's always nice to have proverbial company'?
"Proverbial" means relating to a proverb. Originally, people used it in expressions like, "Well, I see the sun is out, so I'd best make the proverbial hay." The word "proverbial" tells us that the word "hay" is to be understood in terms of a proverb, in this case "Make hay while the sun shines".Unfortunately a lot of people liked the sound of "the proverbial __________" so they started using it even when they had no proverb in mind. In the sentence in your question, it's hard to imagine what proverb they might be alluding to ("two's company; three's a crowd" doesn't seem to fit), so it is very possible that the word "proverbial" serves no purpose, and what the person meant was "It's always nice to have company" which is straightforward enough.
