In this pic at the very back, the Wave Serpent and the canopy of the Wraithlord seem to be painted with a yellow that doesnt look as bright as the usual Sunburst Yellow (old paint range). So which color from the new paint range would match the yellow in the pic best?

Could it be Averland Sunset? Zamesi Desert seems more tan/brown than yellow

To me this looks rakarth flesh-ish. Wouldn't call it yellow in any way though.

Averland Sunset is a very deep, darkish, and highly saturated yellow. Kind of like the color of the dotted lines at the top and bottom of dakka dakka

I think your target color looks much lighter (less saturated), less yellow, and closer to an off-white tan. Kind of Deathwing-ish.

As tommse mentioned, Rakarth Flesh might be pretty close. Ushbanti Bone + Agrax Earthshade might be close too, if you think it has more yellow tones.

of course we have to take the white saturation/bad lighting of the picture into account. I was under the impression that it was an iyanden scheme but with a faded yellow, so subconsciously went in that direction inatead of tan/off-white

I would actually say this is a very desaturated yellow closer to VMC buff than any of the paint colours in the OP.
