If you were to look at your standard-fare pulsar star, what color would it appear?

Answer 1

Blue/white

The term "pulsar" refers to the rapid rotation of neutron stars that shoot out a cone of electromagnetic radiation that we perceive as a "pulse" when it passes Earth.

Although the electromagnetic jet was first identified in radio waves, pulsars have been discovered in a wide range of electromagnetic wavelengths, including X-rays.

To the best of my knowledge, the pulsar's color appears to be blue-white.
