Final answer:

The flag of Nunavut features an inuksuk and a blue star, but not a typical star as seen on some other flags. The color of stars on flags can vary, but gold or white are common choices for representing stars like Polaris.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flag of Nunavut does not feature a star but instead incorporates an inuksuk, which is a traditional Inuit stone landmark or cairn used for navigation, alongside a blue star representing the North Star.

However, if we refer to the traditional colors attributed to stars on various flags and emblems, one might think of the color gold or white, as seen in the stars on the flags of Alaska and Mississippi, which represent the North Star (Polaris) and the state's indigenous people, respectively.

It is worth noting that Nunavut's flag is unique to its heritage and does not necessarily follow the same star color conventions as other regions.
