I exposed a roll of Ilford Delta 100 behind a yellow filter just as I do with HP5.
The results showed no noticeable effect of sky darkening, minus blue, though I think I still had a light loss of X2.
Will an orange filter X2 suffer the same effect?
When all else fails how do you add contrast to clouds using Delta 100.
Other than that the D100 developed in ID11 blew me away enough to re evaluate my exploration of the 6x6 format!
I'll take that back.
If D100 can do what it does in 35mm , my enlarging 6x6 to 16 x 20 should be no issue?

Perhaps it was the sky that day - it does vary a lot you know!
Filters like yellow, orange, etc have a stronger effect on the sky if it is clear and low humidity, and especially at higher elevations. If there is haze or humidity, the sky contains a lot of white and blue-cutting filters will have less effect.

A light yellow has given me the results I like on HP5 and TRI X.

In OP case his sky was light, increasing exposure would add density making the sky lighter not darker?

Depends on the sky and the filter. A light blue sky and a 25A (red) filter will darken the sky even though you open-up three f-stops. It won't let any of the blue in the sky hit the film, and the film is lens dense -- and darker in the print.
There are three yellow filters, #8, #12 and #15 (to use the Wratten numbers), each increasing in effect, before you reach orange #21 or red #25. Not sure which yellow filter you used. #8 has little effect on darkening the sky, at least in my experience. I go to #12 or #15 for that, as I don't like the overly dramatic effect of orange or red.
