Making Ideas Happen - 99U
"Generating new ideas is easy, it's executing that is hard. Whether it's an everyday problem or a bold new concept, you must transform vision into reality for an idea to have value.

In Making Ideas Happen, Behance founder Scott Belsky chronicles the process behind the legendary teams at Disney, IDEO, and Google — as well as individuals like John Maeda, Seth Godin, and Chris Anderson — to share tried-and-true methods for overcoming the obstacles between vision and reality."

Sun is essentially all colors mixed together, which appear to our eyes as white.

What is the Actual Color of The Sun? » Science ABC
"The light emitted by the Sun is actually white, which is a composite of all the visible frequencies of light... The reason that the Sun looks yellow to us is because of Earth’s atmosphere. The earth’s atmosphere scatters away light in the blue, indigo and violet wavelength region, while higher wavelength colors, like red, orange and yellow are less easily scattered. These remaining wavelengths are what we see, which is why the Sun appears yellow."
