That is when it is very strong in yellow, but is favored when it is reflected of objects such as aluminium siding. Often, when the sun is close to the horizon and appears yellow, a white object will still look white. Our brains have an automatic white balance control system to it (like nice cameras have).
I encourage anyone to try looking at a white object when the sun is yellow. White objects rarely look yellow.
