This is normal. The reason for the (yellow) background is simply that AdSense displays an ad that is smaller than the space you defined for this ad unit.

The background color is not coming from AdSense or any plugin your theme generates it. The “typical” yellow is the background color set by some of the standard WordPress themes for the <ins> tag. This tag is not very common, but AdSense loads the ad into this element.
