Decades ago the sun probably appears more yellow to you due to the atmosphere and possibly poli9tuion depending on where you were.

But the sun is actually white.

BTW, I took this shot of the sun last year during the planet Venus transit. This was obtained when Venus near maximum transit, taken on 6/5/2012. I used Sun filters in the optical chain which cased the yellowing effect.

However, once the filters are removed, the sun is basically white.
