What if the Sun Changed Color?

TLDRThe Sun cannot be extinguished by pouring water on it, and changing its color would not have a significant impact on Earth. The Sun's true color is white, but it appears yellow due to atmospheric scattering. Blue stars exist, but our Sun is not one of them. If the Sun turned black, there would be no light, and we would rely on artificial sources. Eventually, the Sun will become a black dwarf, but this won't affect us.
