The word yellow comes from the old English geolu, which derived from the German word gelwaz. In England yellow is associated with ‘caution’ because it is the second light on stoplights. In America yellow is associated with aging, like yellowed paper.

Yellow is a sunny and happy colour when it’s a warm type of yellow, which seems a bit orange. On the other side yellow can be seen as a hateful, hard colour when it’s a cold and violent way of yellow.

You can see yellow in many different places, like flowers, Easter, Chinese monarchy, oriental food, custard, and etcetera. Nice starting points for next posts.
