Your local electrical codes will tell you what color the wires should be. In the United States, you should not see yellow wires in household electrical wiring. For 240V, you should either have two black wires or a black and a red, but once again that falls back on the local electrical codes.
A yellow wire may be a white wire that is showing its age. If this is the case, then it should read around 0V to ground if everything else in the circuit is correct.
