F stars aren't yellow at all

[edit]

Nor even yellow-white. They're white, as are G stars.

There's a nice article about the color of the stars here. Regards, RJH (talk) 23:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
These aren't even the true (actual apparent) colours, but the conventional ones. G-type stars are yellow-white, not yellow, and F-type stars are white, with A-type stars being blue-white. See stellar classification article. --81.84.174.249 (talk) 14:06, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Without the context of stars, 6500K would be considered pure white, and certainly not yellowish. 83.94.214.38 (talk) 18:44, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
6000 K (G0) is yellow-white. 6500 K (F5) is white. 7000 K (F1) is white. 7500 K (A9) is turquoise-white. 8000 K (A6) is turquoise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtadesse (talkcontribs) 18:38, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Summary from many different ones, both in books and online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtadesse (talkcontribs) 00:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, when viewed from space, a G-type or F-type star (Teff = ~5500 K) is pure white to possibly even blue-white. Jtadesse (talk) 15:27, 5 December 2023 (Pacific time)
