It is cearly a "White 7" and not "Yellow 7". Did you refer to another color shot? I only know five color wartime or immediate postwar color photos of He 162s and none of a Yellow 7.
Too lazy to check any reference, nor do I know the history of this bird, but...

based on this (poor quality) photo I'd say that a yellow seven with a white outline is just as possible. It may look white(ish) at first glance, but closer inspection doesn't rule out the other option, IMHO it actually makes a good case for the opposite.
