Selecting html element tag(?) name selenium python

Question

I am writing a function in python3 using selenium that will click a link given that it matches a provided text, but having trouble figuring out how to do so. The html is as follows:

<a class="name-link" href="/colors/thisOne" </a>

Yellow

I do know how to select the class name "find_element_by_class_name("name-link") but how would I also include the text Yellow as an option as well, so that my if statement would be like:

if 'Yellow' == (variable):
    .click()

Thank you in advance.

Please Keep the complete <a> tag !

Thank you! I guess I haven't fully understood the find_ methods yet. link_text works perfectly.
