The Sun is said to be yellow because we have rough names for all the colours we perceive. Because of our crude sense of light wavelengths we cannot do spectrometric analyse of the light we see. Colour is a matter of psychophysics and not Physics. You could find out about the tristimulus theory of colour vision and find out how it works. (It is not as simple as you may think.) It will not actually tell you 'why', though, but 'how'.
If you have read about QM and how the basics are derived then you must know that there is no answer to the 'why' question. In fact there is no askable 'why' question in QM. There are only connective relationships between quantities.
You may need to put more personal effort into this, rather than expecting someone else to flick a switch of understanding in your brain at your present state of knowledge. This is usually the way, I'm afraid.
