Yes, yellow - and lots of tactile buttons on the pavement as a reminder. (Pic attached)

The tram platform is actually a bit higher than the footpath and there is a step down from the centre of the platform to that footpath as well as two ramps - one for bikes and one for pedestrians - at each end.  The step is also surrounded by a sea of tactile buttons.
