Yeah, SNESes that have that problem turn a yellow color, not green. It's because of the kind of plastic, white (or grey like the SNES) plastic has stuff in it that, in the wrong circumstances (or the wrong mix, or whatever, I don't know) can turn it yellowish. This can happen to just about any white plastic things, but it's more common with some, like some old computers, the SNES, etc. I have heard of other things like some Dreamcasts yellowing too; it's not just a SNES thing as I said. Even some carts (SNES, GB, etc.) can discolor. I've never heard of black plastic having this problem.
Mine's mostly grey, but I think the case has changed color slightly -- the part around the cart port is a different, lighter shade from the rest of the case. But I've seen yellow SNESes, and mine is definitely not that.
