I've done some research and yes, you're right. Uranium is usually yellowish.
Although, they may be a problem with that. I've never used any mod that adds new resources to the game but I strongly suspect that one of them adds sulphur ore. If I change uranium to yellow, they would be two very similar ores and I very much wouldn't like to interfere with other mods. There is no such problem with iron and copper because they more or less switch colors with each other.
I am not saying that I definitely won't change color of uranium. I just wanted you to know what kind of problems this may create.
I have think about this some more.
I know for sure that I won't change glow of nuclear reactor. I like this idea but this mod is about ores.
You may want to create suggestion at forum about it.
