Unique Post Oak find

While driving I spotted a couple of Post Oaks (Quercus stellata) that have pure yellow tomentose (hair) on the leaf backs. The typical color I'm used to seeing for the leaf back is silver/green for the species.
Has any one ever seen pure yellow leaf backs on a Post Oak? And the yellow it's Not from drought, they are healthy and green on top and yellow on the back.

I thought it was so cool looking, it was so vivid it almost looked like each leaf back was painted yellow by hand on the leaf backs.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture, but this is all I have for now. I took this picture while going done the road with my old phone camera:

LOL, looks like a work by one of the French impressionists.

lol, yeah. It's blurry from going 60mph, and from me zooming in on the tree in the picture after I downloaded it to the computer.
