Tubes are yellow like that to compensate for the blue light produced by the
flash. It's just light balancing, not a defect.
When flash units put out light (flash) especially in small amounts, the
color temperature is close to 6000 degrees, sunlight is 5000. The yellow
coloring balances it to closer to 5000degrees Kelvin.

Barry,
I wouldn't worry about the yellow cast to the lens/diffuser on the
Vivitar 283, that's the way they come. I got my first 283 last year,
looked at it and promptly ordered a new foot and new lens. I got the
replacement parts and installed the foot, I still have the new lens as
it's the same color as the original one.
