I’m not sure what people mean by the “yellow”. It isn’t stark white, but has more of a natural/wheat color as an undertone. Very true to color from the pictures on the website.  We love it. Seems high quality. The shedding is bad right now, but I feel like it is almost like the rug was made all as the tall part and then the lower parts were cut out and I am vacuuming the little crumbs and dust left.  I don’t think I am vacuuming out actual rug strands.
