About ten years ago I had to write a critical features list on a piece of equipment that used yellow chromate over aluminum. It turned out not to be too difficult; silver was too little, yellow and brown were too much and "waay" too much respectively. Only a light gold tint was correct.
Holding the vendor to that,on the other hand...

The advice not to used is because of the high impedance. The film EMC people use is clear because of the low impedance. For yellow, purple, etc there is good corrosion resistance whereas the clear coating is low corrosion resistance but also low Z). So we have the compromise between low Z and low corrosion resistance or high Z and high corrosion resistance. There are also porosity of the film with processing conditions. This is my best guess with the information available. Be glad to help you on more specifics.
