Well the sun is behind the atmosphere, so theoretically it can't appear 
darker than the sky (since you're seeing it through the sky). The effect is 
actually caused by the colour space I'm doing my calculations in, the sun is 
so bright that it effectively generates a negative blue component, making it 
too yellow. Very strange!
