(maybe colours faded so much that yellow is now white... but it sounds strange to me)in case it is so, don't you think we could update the info on the PHB page?

If you compare the true white of the "ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS" text to the faded "PLAYERS HANDBOOK" under good lighting, you can often detect a difference in hue. (You may need to focus for quite some time.)Depending on how much fading/greening the spine has endured, it is less obvious. Spines are particularly vulnerable to fading, even when the rest of the cover appears unfaded.
