The sun is a G class star and (from space) its pale yellow.
Some stars appear yellow because either they are yellow or the white color can appear different. The spectral types F and G (our sun), contain yellow stars. This is caused by their temperature.
The Sun is white hot - the red, yellow, and orange colors come from dust and smog in the air. Compared to other stars, the Sun is slightly in the yellow part of the spectrum, but to us it is white.
Well I know this is not what you had in mind but white stars are hotter! If you where to compare, the blue stars would be hottest then the white stars, yellowish white, yellow orange then red. I know many people would have thought diffrently so face it our star (the sun) isn't the hottest.
