That's a weirdly precise measurement of the temperature of sunlight. Colour temperature isn't really a precise way of measuring colour since not even a body like the sun really acts as a black body emitter. All that said, colour temperatures around six thousand kelvins are certainly describable as white and not as yellow.

The Sun is an almost perfect black body emitter. Outside of our atmosphere, it's perfectly so, and the atmospheric distortion is imperceptible.
Any reasonable representation of its color would classify the Sun as white, except when comparing it to other stars, where the small differences matter a lot.
