Yes. It would be Las flores son amarillas. You would add es or s to the end of the word depending on the last letter of the word. You could also say Las flores son de color amarillo, where you would not pluralize amarillo. You can check out this reference article to learn more about when you should pluralize a color. You can also check out this webpage.

Another interesting construction: Las flores son de color del sol. Mis ojos son de color del cielo en un día soleado. - 0074b507, Jun 19, 2010
