What colour are other visual observers seeing it as.

Orestis, it's a yellow colour.
View thru binoculars (flip for newt. scope):
There is a largish "H" shaped asterism sitting right next to the nova on the right. Below the nova is two fainter stars, making a triangle shape. The nova marks the tip of the triangle & is the brighter of the other stars in triangle.
Jeanette's image is an excellent guide:
Tom Harradine's pic here is another excellent guide.
Line up gamma Sagittae and make a line to Sualocin Delphini. The nova sits pretty much in the middle.
