For reference, here are some pictures of my current car with the Black/Oyster interior with Bamboo Anthracite trim. It's a 3 coupe, but I have no reason to believe Oyster on the 1 Series looks any different. I think these pictures are fairly color accurate, representative of what Oyster looks like in regular daylight.

To answer the original question, Oyster does not look yellow-ish to me. It feels like slightly washed out cream. It has a mildly warm tone -- it's not cold or silvery.

As others have mentioned, the Oyster does get dirty faster. 2 years later, my seats show some gradual darkening of the bolsters and there is some mild darkening on the armrest. I often drive in dress clothes with a tucked in shirt and leather belts (black or brown), so there is a shadowy band where my belt rubs the driver's seat. All of this can probably be addressed, but it would obviously be a non-issue on a darker interior.
