The sun is not yellow or orange as we see in books and movies. It emits all the colours in the visible spectrum (also in other spectrums as well) making it white!
No, that’s not at all what redshift is.
And neither redshift nor dopplershift would have that much effect on light at the speeds we’re talking about.
Besides the sun’s color on earth it’s not a shift of wavelengths, it’s a subtraction of wavelengths, as you easily can see in a spectrogram.
