I have caulking around the base of the shower and tub and it turned yellow. Is this normal? It was transparent to begin with.

As mentioned by one user, the grout was most likely not sealed before the silicone was put on. The grout is brownish/grey and indeed it looks like it changed color a bit and now looks yellow underneath the transparent silicone.
