You've all confirmed what I thought. ie the phone cannot be restored to its original colour. The "Ivory" colour has indeed gone yellow in the same way that real ivory does. However the colour change is uniform and not unpleasant, so I'll live with it. I've yet to take the other coloured phones out of their black bags, so I may have more surprises in store.

Incidently the Marketing term for phones originally coloured "Yellow" is "Topaz"
