I re-vsisted this double last night to see what colours I was perceiving. I saw the primary as a bright, light yellow, more yellow than white and the the faint companion a pale smokey yellow.
Yes, it is a fine double with a wide split at 100X which dominates a rich field of many stars. There are many fine optical double and triple stars in the field. Did you see the faint red star about 5-10 arc minutes away at about 300 degree angle?
