A yellow star? A green star?

Would you believe blue for HR8799?

"The host star is a bright, blue A-type star, which has been mostly neglected in ground and space-based direct imaging survey since it offers a less favorable contrast between the bright star and faint planet"

I would bet it is primarily white with a tinge of blue. Once the colors are finally determined, the news should be ready for public attention.
