I think yellow could mean decay, disentigration of character. I just finished the book and am fascinated by it:)

Yeah, suffering, that's it. Dostoevsky put all the other colors there just for the LULZ.

Dostoevsky used yellow in many of his works to mean decay,
degeneracy and corruption. The shredded yellow wallpaper in Rashkolikov's bedrood is a visual clue to the real character of the man.
