This pennant is essentially creme color.
My interest in the card is whether a card can have the appearance of a sun fade but in reality be a print error. The more I think of it though there must be other ways of discerning whether a sun fad or print error is occurring beside just blue lettering vs green.

I couldn't find it but a couple years ago I posted close up pics of a real missing yellow card and one sun faded to show how to tell the difference. Once you have seen several of both it becomes very easy to tell the difference. You also have to take into account different years/brands react differently to fading but all the tells are still there, especially with the ones faded with the sun.
