Hi,all my margie is going to be two in July I noticed this morning that he is looking a bit yellow. Can't seem to find out much and not sure if I should be really worried.

Have given him some calcium powder on his salad this morning which he has tucked into.

What parts of your tort are looking yellow, is it the shell, his skin, the eyes? In most animals yellow skin/eyes/mucous membranes is a signal for liver problems, but I don't know if this is also the case in torts. Pics might help indeed!

It is his skin. Will post some pictures tomorrow when the light is better. He seems bright and is eating well really tucked into the calcium food I gave him today. His eyes look clear and he had done wee, poo and white poo today.

Marginated have black / creamy yellow skin on legs and head while juveniles. Mine is quite light compared to others I have seen pics of, some are really dark. I believe their skin gets darker with age.
