Stellarium

explain default label colors

Asked by Doug Winner

I really like this program and am trying to better understand all it's features. I've looked in the User's Guide but I can't find an explanation for why some labels are in pale blue, some in yellow/orange, and some appear white. Is this a spectral color indicator?

For example:
Yed Prior - yellow
Yed Posterior - white
Deneb Dulfim - blue

Thanks for any help.

Yes, you are right - it's spectral colors of the stars.
