Yellow algae is as the description states yellowish in color. You can determine if you can see a yellow tint on the white or light surface of the plaster or vinyl. You can further determine algae by just brushing the yellow spots -- if it brushes off then it is most likely yellow algae. Mustard algae is similar but will be harder to brush off. The algae usually breeds on the shady side of the pool first then progresses to the rest of the pool depending on how long the pool has been neglected.
