Often wondered what a yellow was, first saw them advertised by LPW and saw some of them at Blackpool ... these were just as photos here, washed-out red colour. Now I wonder ... do they race and race well or are they just for show?

To clear up the confusion about yellows,genetically there are two different ways to get a yellow pigeon.

As in Dave A's case they are a combination of Ash red and dilute which as bruno says give a washed out appearance.

The other way is a combination of recessive red(chocolate to you racing fanciers) and dilute which will give you the more intense solid yellow colouring.
