I think Darths base does come out rather yellow looking at other pictures:

Yes, you're not wrong. It's strange though because I made Darth's base quite a while ago and it definitely came out brown. Has it been altered recently as I notice there's no tomato used in the base and it's this that makes the base brown?

Many of the bases I have tried on here do come out a shade of yellow when blended and most do contain toms, not sure why it is.
