White, no companion noted, non-visual binary
Something odd here, SIMBAD lists a Vmag of 8.5 sourced from the Naval Observatory UCAC4 catalog, it is clearly much brighter than this in the eyepiece. The SAO, HD, and HR catalogs show about 5.7 as the magnitude, agreeing with a visual estimate, have changed the vmag in ObsDB to the SAO number.
