The only change in color here was white balance adjustment while converting from raw. The idea is very simple - lower color temperature value makes overall photo look more blue, higher color temperature - more yellow. I think the correct color balance here would be probably around 5500K, but I wanted to emphasize that it's early morning and set color temperature to 6400K, which made the whole photo slightly more yellow than it was in reality.

Even if you don't want to use Raw now, I would advice you to set your camera to produce Raw+Jpg, burn your raw files into CDs/DVDs and keep them. You may decide to process some of them few years from now. There is a good article explaining why it's always good to have raw files. Worth reading.
