I'm sorry about your hurt ego Mr. Masashi Kishimoto, oh, wait... nowhere in the canon does it say that Naruto's chakra is NOT yellow. I KNOW what he said early on was just a metaphor, so lets please forget about that, I'm talking about the later colored cover depictions. And yes, I know Rasengan switched to blue towards the end, but it's very likely that it was only because of anime and games, to maintain consistency while working with them. For example, the anime colors Kurotsuchi's eyes differently than the manga, yet they were kept anime-color for Boruto movie even though Kishimoto was involved in it.

The anime and games and all other 3rd party media have been coloring chakra in majority of cases blue since the beginning, that's how the fandom knows it to be. So chakra = blue is the most recognizable because of all the animated material, all the video games and the fandom's perception, so perhaps Kishimoto started to color Naruto's Rasengan blue for fan convenience.

Unlike you 'Mr. I know the best and even if I don't, I'm still less wrong than you' I'm not just going to ignore the Kishimoto made colorings where Naruto's Rasengan is yellow, ignore that chakra mode even is yellow and that 'Asura' depiction on cover is also the same color. It's pretty obvious to me, especially since the 'Indra' depiction is the same color as Sasuke's Susanoo and all colored depictions of his chakra from earlier.
