Is the time for the 'Asr prayer (meaning, a current prayer) shortly before Maghrib?

The discretionary time for the 'Asr prayer ends when the sun turns yellow. If a Muslim prays it after the sun has yellowed and before sunset, it is considered performed, but he incurs sin if the delay was without a valid excuse. The time of necessity ends at sunset.
