'Yellow' wall road tyre?

After my unfortunate issue recently busting a rear carbon rim I have sourced a replacement from a friend. Now here's the thing, it's a tubby wheel and I have fitted a Giro .... It has this very strange sidewall like color.

 

The front wheel is clincher so wanted to get a similar looking tire so it doesn't look too 'odd', any ideas?

A yellow Maxxis Detonator comes to mind. I would rather buy a few coki's as Spoke101 said.

Can't see so well but that looks more like a tan wall tyre to me. Clinchers are available in a similar setup. Try Evobikes otherwise I've just got some from Bike24.

Thanks for correcting my failed 'colour' description, I am man 'primary' colours that's my thing  :blush:

 

Will troll the local bike shops this morning to see what they have, failing that online it will be, thanks for the tip!

Haha. Didn't mean to correct you. The reason I mentioned it is that you do get actual yellow side wall tyres. Your tyre doesn't look like one of these.

 

Many manufacturers make a 'traditional' looking tyres with the 'gum' or tan side wall. You would've seen loads of them on the TDF. They're popular on tubbies. Yours looks to be one of these.

 

This style is available in clinchers too. Pretty sure a LBS will have or be able to get their hands on one.
