Few statements in the canon more than imply that not all chakra is the same color. Ao recognizes color of Shisui's chakra in Danzo. If all chakra were to be yellow or blue, this wouldn't be possible.

So in the very least, chakra color differs among individuals, not just Tailed Beasts and others. I have no idea if nature transformation has any effect on color of chakra though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Kurama's chakra been stated to be red in text too at least once? Yet when Naruto uses it in chakra modes, it's yellow or yellow with orange tint, consistently, no blue fox chakra cloak.

It's just my assumption of course, that Naruto's Rasengan got changed into blue because of anime and games, but seems quite reasonable. If you were to ask the average fan what color the Rasengan is, the answer would 99% be blue, because it's been blue in anime and games (excluding Kurama influence etc.) very few fans would know that the manga author has colored it yellow few times. Hell, even if only just a metaphor, the anime changed it from 'i would compare mine to yellow and the other one to red' to 'mine blue other red'

3rd parties decided to color chakra in most cases blue, that's a fact. And even excluding the metaphor, Kishimoto colored it yellow more than once before the blue started to appear, so in the very least his might have thought about Naruto's chakra being yellow.

In the very least, I hope you agree that chakra has at least been implied to be more than just one color in canon. Kishi just rarely colored it or made a mention of it in dialogue and when he did, just for very few characters and even that has been inconsistent. My argument for Naruto's chakra being yellow is that Kishimoto colored it yellow more times than blue, chakra cloak is yellow and 'Asura phantom' or what shit got also colored yellow, while 'Indra phantom' got colored same color as Sasuke's Susanoo and earlier chakra depictions, meaning the Asura phantom's color was in that instance meant to represent color of Naruto's chakra, excuse my German.
