All bone marrow is red in color, but as a person ages, the marrow is slowly replaced by fat. Fat has a yellow color, so the appearance of the material in the medullary cavity will get more yellow as a person ages, but the marrow itself is red.
==========
Bones are usually filled with a whitish cream colored marrow. You may not know this, but the creamy marrow is used to produce white blood cells. The capillaries that enter the bone then take these newly reproduced white blood cells and replensih the bodies dying portion of cells. Although many bones possess the creamy white blood cell marrow, larger bones such as the femur and the humerus possess red marrow. This red marrow produces red blood cells, not white!

What is a yellow marrow?
Yellow marrow is the type of bone marrow found in the central cavities of long bones of adults. It is mainly composed of fat cells and serves as a fatty reserve for energy storage. Yellow marrow can convert to red marrow in certain situations, such as during periods of increased blood cell production.
