HD 191806 has a stellar classification of G0V, indicating that it is a G-type main sequence star. It has 110% the mass of the Sun and a slightly enlarged radius of 1.48 R. It radiates at 2.23 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,894 K, giving a yellow hue. HD 191806 is estimated to be about 3 billion years old and has a metallicity nearly twice of the Sun's. It spins with a projected rotational velocity of 3.3 km/s, which corresponds to a rotational period of 21 days.
