I am looking at a 360 on ebay. The seller says its yellow. Could it just be white that has aged that color or really yellow?

Probably, as the conversion varnish yellows it takes the color with it. The paint itself does not change the clear coat does.

That's what I though. Looks cool though. I think it must have been exposed to a lot of lite for that to happen to a 1993.

Some people like a little yellowing. It gives FG a nice amber overtone. When white yellows slightly and evenly it looks very nice. Too much yellow makes it look a bit like snot. IMHO
