I'm a little confused. Are you referring the the Semi-Apo filter or a plain yellow filter for photography?

The Semi-Apo filter is colour balanced for photography. There is very little noticeable colour shift. I like it because of this.

A plain yellow filter for photography, depending on how deep the filter is (light yellow to deep yellow), a light yellow can be balanced back to "normal" but the deeper ones retain some colour shift. For reference the GSO yellow is deeper than a Hoya K2.

I sometimes use a yellow or yellow / green filter on an achro refractor to subdue the blue fringe.
