Yellow sheet turns blue

Yesterday, I was experimenting with a speedlite I've recently bought and did the fairly common thing of using some flowers as the subject. I used a pale yellow sheet for a background

I was, to say the least, rather taken back when the sheet appeared blue on the photo. At first I though it would be caused by horrendous white balance but the other items in the picture seem O.K. to me.

The only thing I can think of is that there's been a "shoot through" effect involving the sofa and wall behind the sheet.

Anway, here's the photo:-

I realise there are other things wrong with this photo : I was trying to get the exposure right as my speedlite is entirely manual. It's the sheet colour that's baffled me.

No sooner have I posted this than I realised I've put it in entirely the wrong section.

Sorry!

I've posted it in "Lighting and Studio", so this one can be deleted. I would've done so myself but I don't know how.
