Is this really solid gold?

My husband purchased this lovely bracelet for me as a mother's day gift from jcpennys, but I've noticed that despite being only 10k gold, it seems to have a FAR more yellow color than my other 10k, 14k, or 18k pieces, which I'll show in comparison. (Wedding band is 14k, engagement ring is 18k, necklace is 10k).

Here's the link to where he bought it, though he bought it in person! https://www.jcpenney.com/p/made-in-italy-womens-10k-gold-7-inch-hollow-paperclip-chain-bracelet/ppr5008504639?pTmplType=regular&selectedSKUId=28223250018&cid=cse|google|005\_JewelryWatches|JCP\_G\_PMAX\_Jewelry+and+Watches&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=21005579196&gbraid=0AAAAADq1iuAMHxOWNDI5-QLQdkBhVmb0l&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2YDQBhD\_ARIsAE1qeSeyfyWczMvxxtnZGGrgsiNL3D5\_mHclO\_7ILkSdqrfTTLNALxWWJIIaAqh6EALw\_wcB

10k gold bracelet more yellow than 18k gold piece?

Hi guys! I was recently gifted this beautiful bracelet from my husband for mothers day, but noticed that for whatever reason that the color of the bracelet is far more yellow than that of my 14k gold wedding band and 18k gold engagement ring, which I'll add photos of next to the bracelet for comparison.We've been screwed over by sellers falsifying gold in bracelets before, so he bought this piece from jc Penny's. (I'll add the link at the bottom). It's stamped 10k and the assistant who sold it said it was solid gold, so what could be causing this?
