Why does sun appear white at noon?

I have found several source citing the reason for the white apperance of sun is due to less scattering of light before sunlight reaches an observer on the Earth (as it is relatively closer to us at noon compared to during sunset and sunrise). I believe it is not the appropriate reasoning. Shouldn't it be white as light of different wavelengths get's scattered in equal proportions?
