Barry, the full aperture filter is an Orion glass solar filter and the colour you see in the pic is the colour it produces, which is fairly close to natural Sun colour I think. In photoshop processing I reduced the midtone slider to boost contrast and reduced the saturation to compensate. I ran a modest unsharp mask to sharpen it up a bit.
