The other two have very little yellow at all, they’re a shade of brown with a greenish tint. The right most stone is what many folks call tamago or egg color, a darker stone that at first glance looks kind of yellow but really isn’t so much.
The color isn’t quite perfect but close, and as Jerry noted, depends on the lighting.
