Why is it yellow?

My sister has a Philodendron Birkin with stripes that are more yellow than white - any thoughts as to why? It seems healthy otherwise. My sister is a plant person so this is surprising both of us.

Light: 3 - 4 feet from east-facing window; grow light is 6-12 inches above.

Watering: every 2-3 weeks when mostly dry.

Potting medium: aroid mix.

drainage: yes; never left in standing water.

My guess is that it might need fertilizer/repotting as it hasn't been repotted in two years since it doesn't seem to need it yet.

TIA, #greggang!

Variegations happen as indoor plants adapt to changes on light, soil or temperature. I boil banana peels and drop some water on my indoor plants, it helps to replenish some nutrients.
