Why does sunlight appear yellow?
 
 Our atmosphere scatters shorter to bigger wavelengths color from sunlight when the white light travels through it. During day, it scatters violet and blue colors leaving yellowish sunlight (the reason why sky is blue and sunlight is yellow).

The reason that anything appears to be any color is because certain hues in the light spectrum is absorbed while other hues are reflected. Cone cells in the eye receive what is reflected and sends signals to your brain which interprets the colors. Ultimately, it depends on what is reflected and what your cone cells are able to detect.
