In color printing, yellow is one of the three colors of ink, along with [[magenta]] and [[cyan]], which, along with black, can be overlaid in the right combination, along with black, to print any full color image.

This definition, however, does not constrain what version of white will be specified. In the nineteenth century, the scientists [[Grassmann]] and [[Helmholtz]] did experiments in which they concluded that finding a good complement for spectral yellow was difficult, but that the result was indigo, that is, a wavelength that today's color scientists would call '''violet or purple'''.

These results, that the complement of yellow is a wavelength shorter than 450&nbsp;nm, are derivable from the modern [[CIE 1931]] system of colorimetry if it is assumed that the yellow is about 580&nbsp;nm or shorter wavelength, and the specified white is the color of a blackbody radiator of temperature 2800 [[Kelvin|K]] or lower (that is, the white of an ordinary incandescent light bulb). More typically, with a daylight-colored or around 5000 to 6000 K white, the complement of yellow will be in the blue wavelength range, which is the standard modern answer for the complement of yellow. Because of the characteristics of paint pigments and use of different [[Color wheel|color wheels]], painters traditionally regard the complement of yellow as the color indigo or blue-violet. ==== Lasers ==== [[Laser|Lasers]] emitting in the yellow part of the spectrum are less common and more expensive than most other colors.<ref name="laserglow">{{cite web|url=http://www.laserglow.com/index.php?portable|title=Laserglow – Blue, Red, Yellow, Green Lasers|publisher=Laserglow.com|accessdate=27 March 2009|quote=described as an "extremely rare yellow".}}</ref> In commercial products diode pumped solid state ([[Diode-pumped solid-state laser|DPSS]]) technology is employed to create the yellow light.

They serve two key roles in plants and algae: they absorb light energy for use in [[photosynthesis]], and they protect the green [[chlorophyll]] from photodamage.<ref name="fasebj.org" /> In late summer, as [[daylight]] hours shorten and temperatures cool, the [[Vein|veins]] that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off. The water and [[mineral]] intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. It is during this time that the chlorophyll begins to decrease. As the chlorophyll diminishes, the yellow and red carotenoids become more and more visible, creating the classic [[autumn leaf color]]. Carotenoids are common in many living things; they give the characteristic color to [[Carrot|carrots]], [[maize]], [[Daffodil|daffodils]], [[Rutabaga|rutabagas]], [[Buttercup|buttercups]] and bananas. They are responsible for the red of cooked [[Lobster|lobsters]], the pink of [[flamingoes]] and [[salmon]] and the yellow of [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[Egg yolk|egg yolks]]. [[Xanthophylls]] are the most common yellow [[Pigment|pigments]] that form one of two major divisions of the carotenoid group. The name is from Greek ''xanthos'' ('''ξανθος''', "yellow") + ''phyllon'' ('''φύλλον''', "leaf"). Xanthophylls are most commonly found in the leaves of green plants, but they also find their way into animals through the food they eat. For example, the yellow color of chicken egg yolks, fat, and skin comes from the feed the chickens consume. Chicken farmers understand this, and often add [[Xanthophyll|xanthophylls]], usually [[lutein]], to make the egg yolks more yellow. Bananas are green when they are picked because of the chlorophyll their skin contains. Once picked, they begin to ripen; [[hormones]] in the bananas convert amino acids into ethylene gas, which stimulates the production of several [[enzymes]]. These enzymes start to change the color, texture and flavor of the banana. The green chlorophyll supply is stopped and the yellow color of the carotenoids replaces it; eventually, as the enzymes continue their work, the cell walls break down and the bananas turn brown.<gallery mode="packed" heights="140px"> File:Fall colors near the Eagle Lake trailhead.jpg|Autumn colors along the [[Eagle River (Cook Inlet)|Eagle River]] near [[Anchorage]], [[Alaska]] File:Cornwall Daffodils.jpg|[[Daffodils]] in [[Cornwall]] File:Bananas.jpg|[[Banana]]s, like autumn [[leaves]], [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[egg yolks]], get their yellow color from natural pigments called [[carotenoids]].

The cave of [[Lascaux]] has an image of a horse colored with yellow estimated to be 17,300 years old. === Ancient history === In Ancient [[Egypt]], yellow was associated with gold, which was considered to be imperishable, eternal and indestructible. The skin and bones of the gods were believed to be made of [[gold]]. The Egyptians used yellow extensively in tomb paintings; they usually used either yellow ochre or the brilliant [[orpiment]], though it was made of [[arsenic]] and was highly toxic. A small paintbox with orpiment pigment was found in the tomb of King [[Tutankhamun]]. Men were always shown with brown faces, women with yellow ochre or gold faces.<ref name="webexhibits.org" /> The ancient Romans used yellow in their paintings to represent [[gold]] and also in skin tones.

[[Georges Seurat]] used the new synthetic colors in his experimental paintings composed of tiny points of primary colors, particularly in his famous ''Sunday Afternoon on the Isle de la Grand jatte'' (1884–86).

In Arles, Van Gogh painted sunflowers inside a small house he rented at 2 Place Lamartine, a house painted with a color that Van Gogh described as "buttery yellow." Van Gogh was one of the first artists to use commercially manufactured paints, rather than paints he made himself. He used the traditional yellow ochre, but also [[chrome yellow]], first made in 1809, and [[cadmium yellow]], first made in 1820.<ref>Stefano Zuffi (2012), ''Color in Art'', pp. 96–97.</ref> At the end of the 19th century, in 1895, a new popular art form began to appear in New York newspapers; the color [[comic strip]].

Jews in [[Nazi Germany]] and German-occupied countries were required to sew yellow triangles with the star of David onto their clothing. In the 20th century, modernist painters reduced painting to its simplest colors and geometric shapes. The Dutch modernist painter [[Piet Mondrian]] made a series of paintings which consisted of a pure white canvas with a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and rectangles of yellow, red, and blue. Yellow was particularly valued in the 20th century because of its high visibility. Because of its ability to be seen well from greater distances and at high speeds, yellow makes for the ideal color to be viewed from moving automobiles.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> It often replaced red as the color of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, and was popular in neon signs, especially in [[Las Vegas]] and in China, where yellow was the most esteemed color. In the 1960s, Pickett Brand developed the "Eye Saver Yellow" [[slide rule]], which was produced with a specific yellow color (Angstrom 5600) that reflects long-wavelength rays and promotes optimum eye-ease to help prevent eyestrain and improve visual accuracy.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> The 21st century saw the use of unusual materials and technologies to create new ways of experiencing the color yellow. One example was ''The weather project'', by Danish-Icelandic artist [[Olafur Eliasson]], which was installed in the open space of the Turbine Hall of London's [[Tate Modern]] in 2003.

It is made from the dried red [[Stigma (botany)|stigma]] of the [[crocus sativus]] flower. It must be picked by hand and it takes 150 flowers to obtain a single gram of stigma, so it is extremely expensive. It probably originated in the Mediterranean or Southwest Asia, and its use was detailed in a 7th-century BC Assyrian botanical reference compiled under [[Ashurbanipal]].{{Sfn|Russo|Dreher|Mathre|2003|p=6}} It was known in India at the time of the [[Buddha]], and after his death his followers decreed that monks should wear robes the color of saffron. Saffron was used to dye the robes of the senior Buddhist monks, while ordinary monks wore robes dyed with [[Gamboge]] or [[Curcuma longa]], also known as Turmeric. The color of saffron comes from [[crocin]], a red variety of [[carotenoid]] natural pigment. The color of the dyed fabric varies from deep red to orange to yellow, depending upon the type of saffron and the process. Most saffron today comes from Iran, but it is also grown commercially in Spain, Italy and Kashmir in India, and as a boutique crop in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and other countries. In the United States, it has been cultivated by the [[Pennsylvania Dutch]] community since the early 18th century. Because of the high price of saffron, other similar dyes and spices are often sold under the name saffron; for instance, what is called ''Indian saffron'' is often really turmeric. * [[Reseda luteola]], also known as dyers weed, yellow weed or weld, has been used as a yellow dye from neolithic times. It grew wild along the roads and walls of Europe, and was introduced into North America, where it grows as a weed. It was used as both as a yellow dye, whose color was deep and lasting, and to dye fabric green, first by dyeing it blue with indigo, then dyeing it with reseda luteola to turn it a rich, solid and lasting green. It was the most common yellow dye in Europe from the Middle Ages until the 18th century, when it was replaced first by the bark of the quercitron tree from North America, then by synthetic dyes. It was also widely used in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire.<ref>Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs – pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', pp. 78–79.</ref> * [[Gamboge]] is a deep saffron to mustard yellow pigment and dye.<ref>''Oxford English Dictionary'', 2nd Ed.

After the [[Song Dynasty]], bright yellow color can only be worn by the emperor. Distinguished visitors were honored with a yellow, not a red, carpet. In Chinese symbolism, yellow, red and green are masculine colors, while black and white are considered feminine. In the traditional symbolism of the two opposites which complement each other, the [[yin and yang]], the masculine yang is traditionally represented by yellow.

Yellow combined with red symbolized heat and energy. A room painted yellow feels warmer than a room painted white, and a lamp with yellow light seems more natural than a lamp with white light. As the color of light, yellow is also associated with knowledge and wisdom. In English and many other languages, "brilliant" and "bright" mean intelligent. In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. In medieval European symbolism, red symbolized passion, blue symbolized the spiritual, and yellow symbolized reason. In many European universities, yellow gowns and caps are worn by members of the faculty of physical and natural sciences, as yellow is the color of reason and research.<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', pp. 72–73.</ref> === Gold and blond === In ancient Greece and Rome, the gods were often depicted with yellow, or blonde hair; which was described in literature as 'golden'.

It is also often used for warning signs, since yellow traditionally signals caution, rather than danger. [[Shades of yellow#Safety yellow|Safety yellow]] is often used for safety and accident prevention information. A yellow light on a traffic signal means slow down, but not stop. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) uses Pantone 116 (a yellow hue) as their standard color implying "general warning," while the Federal Highway Administration similarly uses yellow to communicate warning or caution on highway signage.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> A yellow [[penalty card]] in a soccer match means warning, but not expulsion.<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:First Student 132.jpg|School bus File:Gelber Briefkasten der Deutschen Post.JPG|A mailbox in Germany.

While many flags use yellow, their symbolism varies widely, from civic virtue to golden treasure, golden fields, the desert, royalty, the keys to Heaven and the leadership of the Communist Party. In classic European [[heraldry]], yellow, along with white, is one of the two [[Tincture (heraldry)|metals]] (called gold and silver) and therefore flags following heraldic design rules must use either yellow or white to separate any of their other colors (see [[rule of tincture]]).<gallery mode="packed" heights="100px"> File:Flag of India.svg|[[Flag of India]] (1947). The yellow color is officially called India saffron, and represents courage and sacrifice. File:Flag of Germany.svg|[[Flag of Germany]]. Black, red and yellow were the colors of the [[Holy Roman Emperor]], and, in 1919, of the German [[Weimar Republic]]. The modern German flag was adopted in 1949.

The robe and its color is a sign of renunciation of the outside world and commitment to the order. The candidate monk, with his master, first appears before the monks of the monastery in his own clothes, with his new robe under his arm, and asks to enter the order. He then takes his vows, puts on the robes, and with his begging bowl, goes out to the world. Thereafter, he spends his mornings begging and his afternoons in contemplation and study, either in a forest, garden, or in the monastery.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64">Henri Arvon (1951). ''Le bouddhisme'', pp. 61–64.</ref> According to Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, the robe dye is allowed to be obtained from six kinds of substances: roots and tubers, plants, bark, leaves, flowers and fruits. The robes should also be boiled in water a long time to get the correctly sober color. Saffron and ochre, usually made with dye from the [[curcuma longa]] plant or the heartwood of the [[jackfruit]] tree, are the most common colors. The so-called forest monks usually wear ochre robes and city monks saffron, though this is not an official rule.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/robe_txt.htm|title=The Buddhanet- buddhist studies- the monastic robe|accessdate=9 October 2013}}</ref> The color of robes also varies somewhat among the different "vehicles", or schools of Buddhism, and by country, depending on their doctrines and the dyes available. The monks of the strict [[Vajrayana]], or [[Tantric Buddhism]], practiced in [[Tibet]], wear the most colorful robes of saffron and red. The monks of [[Mahayana Buddhism]], practiced mainly in Japan, China and Korea, wear lighter yellow or saffron, often with white or black. Monks of [[Hinayana Buddhism]], practiced in Southeast Asia, usually wear ochre or saffron color. Monks of the forest tradition in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia wear robes of a brownish ochre, dyed from the wood of the [[jackfruit]] tree.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64" /><ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62">Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs- pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', p. 62.</ref> * In [[Hinduism]], the divinity [[Krishna]] is commonly portrayed dressed in yellow. Yellow and saffron are also the colors worn by [[sadhu]], or wandering holy men in India. The Hindu almighty and divine god Lord Ganesha or Ganpati is mostly dressed with a dhotar in yellow, which is popularly known as pivla pitambar and is considered to be the most auspicious one. * In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. * In the religions of the islands of [[Polynesia]], yellow is a sacred color, the color of the divine essence; the word "yellow" in the local languages is the same as the name of the [[curcuma longa]] plant, which is considered the food of the gods.<ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62" /> * In the [[Roman Catholic Church]], yellow symbolizes gold, and in [[Christian mythology]] the golden key to the Kingdom of Heaven, which divine Christ gave to Saint Peter. The flag of the [[Vatican City]] and the colors of the pope are yellow and white, symbolizing the gold key and the silver key. White and yellow together can also symbolize [[easter]], rebirth and Resurrection. Yellow also has a negative meaning, symbolizing betrayal; [[Judas Iscariot]] is usually portrayed wearing a pale yellow toga. Yellow and golden [[Halo (religious iconography)|halos]] mark the saints in religious paintings. <gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:Rank celebration of Thai Buddhist monk 1.jpg|Buddhist monks at the promotion ceremony of a monk in Thailand File:Buddhist monks of Tibet7.jpg|Buddhist monks in [[Tibet]] File:Ueno monk.jpg|A Japanese Buddhist monk in downtown Tokyo File:Sadou Kathmandu 04 04.jpg|A Hindu [[sadhu]], or ascetic wandering monk or holy man, in [[Kathmandu]], [[Nepal]].

A particular yellow is used, called Process yellow (also known as "pigment yellow", "printer's yellow", and "canary yellow") subtractive [[Primary color|primary colors]], along with [[magenta]] and [[cyan]]. Process yellow is not an RGB color, and there is no fixed conversion from CMYK primaries to RGB. Different formulations are used for printer's ink, so there can be variations in the printed color that is pure yellow ink. The yellow on a color television or computer screen is created in a completely different way; by combining green and red light at the right level of intensity. (See [[RGB color model]]). ==== Complementary colors ==== [[File:PlanckianLocusWithYellowComplements.png|thumb|Complements of yellow have a dominant wavelength in the range 380 to 480&nbsp;nm. The green lines show several possible pairs of complementary colors with respect to different blackbody color temperature neutrals, illustrated by the "[[Planckian locus]]".]] Traditionally, the [[complementary color]] of yellow is [[purple]]; the two colors are opposite each other on the color wheel long used by painters.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Roelofs|first1=Isabelle|last2=Petillion|first2=Fabien|title=La couleur expliquée aux artistes|year=2012|publisher=Eyrolles|location=Paris|isbn=978-2-212-13486-5}}</ref> [[Vincent Van Gogh]], an avid student of color theory, used combinations of yellow and purple in several of his paintings for the maximum contrast and harmony.<ref>{{cite book|first=John|last=Gage|year=2006|title=La Couleur dans l'art|pages=50–51}}</ref> Hunt defines that "two colors are complementary when it is possible to reproduce the tristimulus values of a specified achromatic stimulus by an additive mixture of these two stimuli."<ref name="hunt">{{cite book|title=Measuring Color|first=J.

This definition, however, does not constrain what version of white will be specified. In the nineteenth century, the scientists [[Grassmann]] and [[Helmholtz]] did experiments in which they concluded that finding a good complement for spectral yellow was difficult, but that the result was indigo, that is, a wavelength that today's color scientists would call '''violet or purple'''. Helmholtz says "Yellow and indigo blue" are complements.<ref>{{cite book|title=Physiological Optics|first=Hermann|last=von Helmholtz|publisher=Dover|year=1924|isbn=978-0-486-44260-0}}</ref> Grassmann reconstructs Newton's category boundaries in terms of wavelengths and says "This indigo therefore falls within the limits of color between which, according to Helmholtz, the complementary colors of yellow lie."<ref>{{cite journal|title=Theory of Compound Colors|first=Hermann Günter|last=Grassmann|journal=Philosophical Magazine|volume=4|year=1854|pages=254–64}}</ref> Newton's own color circle has yellow directly opposite the boundary between indigo and violet. These results, that the complement of yellow is a wavelength shorter than 450&nbsp;nm, are derivable from the modern [[CIE 1931]] system of colorimetry if it is assumed that the yellow is about 580&nbsp;nm or shorter wavelength, and the specified white is the color of a blackbody radiator of temperature 2800 [[Kelvin|K]] or lower (that is, the white of an ordinary incandescent light bulb). More typically, with a daylight-colored or around 5000 to 6000 K white, the complement of yellow will be in the blue wavelength range, which is the standard modern answer for the complement of yellow. Because of the characteristics of paint pigments and use of different [[Color wheel|color wheels]], painters traditionally regard the complement of yellow as the color indigo or blue-violet. ==== Lasers ==== [[Laser|Lasers]] emitting in the yellow part of the spectrum are less common and more expensive than most other colors.<ref name="laserglow">{{cite web|url=http://www.laserglow.com/index.php?portable|title=Laserglow – Blue, Red, Yellow, Green Lasers|publisher=Laserglow.com|accessdate=27 March 2009|quote=described as an "extremely rare yellow".}}</ref> In commercial products diode pumped solid state ([[Diode-pumped solid-state laser|DPSS]]) technology is employed to create the yellow light. An infrared laser diode at 808&nbsp;nm is used to pump a crystal of neodymium-doped yttrium vanadium oxide (Nd:YVO4) or neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) and induces it to emit at two frequencies (281.76&nbsp;THz and 223.39&nbsp;THz: 1064&nbsp;nm and 1342&nbsp;nm wavelengths) simultaneously. This deeper infrared light is then passed through another crystal containing potassium, titanium and phosphorus (KTP), whose non-linear properties generate light at a frequency that is the sum of the two incident beams (505.15&nbsp;THz); in this case corresponding to the wavelength of 593.5&nbsp;nm ("yellow").<ref name="ledmuseum">{{cite web|url=http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/yelldpss.htm|title=Yellow (593.5&nbsp;nm) DPSS Laser Module|last=Johnson|first=Craig|date=22 March 2009|publisher=The LED Museum|accessdate=27 March 2009}}</ref> This wavelength is also available, though even more rarely, from a [[helium–neon laser]].

They serve two key roles in plants and algae: they absorb light energy for use in [[photosynthesis]], and they protect the green [[chlorophyll]] from photodamage.<ref name="fasebj.org" /> In late summer, as [[daylight]] hours shorten and temperatures cool, the [[Vein|veins]] that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off. The water and [[mineral]] intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. It is during this time that the chlorophyll begins to decrease. As the chlorophyll diminishes, the yellow and red carotenoids become more and more visible, creating the classic [[autumn leaf color]]. Carotenoids are common in many living things; they give the characteristic color to [[Carrot|carrots]], [[maize]], [[Daffodil|daffodils]], [[Rutabaga|rutabagas]], [[Buttercup|buttercups]] and bananas. They are responsible for the red of cooked [[Lobster|lobsters]], the pink of [[flamingoes]] and [[salmon]] and the yellow of [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[Egg yolk|egg yolks]]. [[Xanthophylls]] are the most common yellow [[Pigment|pigments]] that form one of two major divisions of the carotenoid group. The name is from Greek ''xanthos'' ('''ξανθος''', "yellow") + ''phyllon'' ('''φύλλον''', "leaf"). Xanthophylls are most commonly found in the leaves of green plants, but they also find their way into animals through the food they eat. For example, the yellow color of chicken egg yolks, fat, and skin comes from the feed the chickens consume. Chicken farmers understand this, and often add [[Xanthophyll|xanthophylls]], usually [[lutein]], to make the egg yolks more yellow. Bananas are green when they are picked because of the chlorophyll their skin contains. Once picked, they begin to ripen; [[hormones]] in the bananas convert amino acids into ethylene gas, which stimulates the production of several [[enzymes]]. These enzymes start to change the color, texture and flavor of the banana. The green chlorophyll supply is stopped and the yellow color of the carotenoids replaces it; eventually, as the enzymes continue their work, the cell walls break down and the bananas turn brown.<gallery mode="packed" heights="140px"> File:Fall colors near the Eagle Lake trailhead.jpg|Autumn colors along the [[Eagle River (Cook Inlet)|Eagle River]] near [[Anchorage]], [[Alaska]] File:Cornwall Daffodils.jpg|[[Daffodils]] in [[Cornwall]] File:Bananas.jpg|[[Banana]]s, like autumn [[leaves]], [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[egg yolks]], get their yellow color from natural pigments called [[carotenoids]].

The cave of [[Lascaux]] has an image of a horse colored with yellow estimated to be 17,300 years old. === Ancient history === In Ancient [[Egypt]], yellow was associated with gold, which was considered to be imperishable, eternal and indestructible. The skin and bones of the gods were believed to be made of [[gold]]. The Egyptians used yellow extensively in tomb paintings; they usually used either yellow ochre or the brilliant [[orpiment]], though it was made of [[arsenic]] and was highly toxic. A small paintbox with orpiment pigment was found in the tomb of King [[Tutankhamun]]. Men were always shown with brown faces, women with yellow ochre or gold faces.<ref name="webexhibits.org" /> The ancient Romans used yellow in their paintings to represent [[gold]] and also in skin tones.

File:Flag of Palaeologus Dynasty.svg|The flag of the [[Paleologus dynasty]] of Byzantine emperors was red and gold. </gallery> === Post-classical history === During the Post-Classical period, yellow became firmly established as the color of [[Judas Iscariot]], the disciple who betrayed [[Jesus Christ]], even though the [[Bible]] never describes his clothing. From this connection, yellow also took on associations with [[envy]], [[jealousy]] and duplicity. The tradition started in the Renaissance of marking non-Christian outsiders, such as Jews, with the color yellow. In 16th century Spain, those accused of [[heresy]] and who refused to renounce their views were compelled to come before the [[Spanish Inquisition]] dressed in a yellow cape.<ref>Eva Heller (2000). ''Psychologie de la couleur -effets et symboliques'', p. 82.</ref> The color yellow has been historically associated with moneylenders and finance.

Turner]] was one of the first in that century to use yellow to create moods and emotions, the way romantic composers were using music. His painting ''Rain, Steam, and Speed – the Great Central Railway'' was dominated by glowing yellow clouds. [[Georges Seurat]] used the new synthetic colors in his experimental paintings composed of tiny points of primary colors, particularly in his famous ''Sunday Afternoon on the Isle de la Grand jatte'' (1884–86). He did not know that the new synthetic yellow pigment, zinc yellow or [[zinc chromate]], which he used in the light green lawns, was highly unstable and would quickly turn brown.<ref>John Gage, (1993), ''Colour and Culture – Practice and Meaning from Antiquity to Abstraction'', p. 220.</ref> The painter [[Vincent van Gogh]] was a particular admirer of the color yellow, the color of sunshine. Writing to his sister from the south of France in 1888, he wrote, "Now we are having beautiful warm, windless weather that is very beneficial to me. The sun, a light that for lack of a better word I can only call yellow, bright sulfur yellow, pale lemon gold. How beautiful yellow is!" In Arles, Van Gogh painted sunflowers inside a small house he rented at 2 Place Lamartine, a house painted with a color that Van Gogh described as "buttery yellow." Van Gogh was one of the first artists to use commercially manufactured paints, rather than paints he made himself. He used the traditional yellow ochre, but also [[chrome yellow]], first made in 1809, and [[cadmium yellow]], first made in 1820.<ref>Stefano Zuffi (2012), ''Color in Art'', pp. 96–97.</ref> At the end of the 19th century, in 1895, a new popular art form began to appear in New York newspapers; the color [[comic strip]]. It took advantage of a new [[color printing]] process, which used [[color separation]] and three different colors of ink; magenta, cyan, and yellow, plus black, to create all the colors on the page. One of the first characters in the new comic strips was a humorous boy of the New York streets named Mickey Dugen, more commonly known as the [[Yellow Kid]], from the yellow nightshirt he wore.

Jews in [[Nazi Germany]] and German-occupied countries were required to sew yellow triangles with the star of David onto their clothing. In the 20th century, modernist painters reduced painting to its simplest colors and geometric shapes. The Dutch modernist painter [[Piet Mondrian]] made a series of paintings which consisted of a pure white canvas with a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and rectangles of yellow, red, and blue. Yellow was particularly valued in the 20th century because of its high visibility. Because of its ability to be seen well from greater distances and at high speeds, yellow makes for the ideal color to be viewed from moving automobiles.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> It often replaced red as the color of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, and was popular in neon signs, especially in [[Las Vegas]] and in China, where yellow was the most esteemed color. In the 1960s, Pickett Brand developed the "Eye Saver Yellow" [[slide rule]], which was produced with a specific yellow color (Angstrom 5600) that reflects long-wavelength rays and promotes optimum eye-ease to help prevent eyestrain and improve visual accuracy.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> The 21st century saw the use of unusual materials and technologies to create new ways of experiencing the color yellow. One example was ''The weather project'', by Danish-Icelandic artist [[Olafur Eliasson]], which was installed in the open space of the Turbine Hall of London's [[Tate Modern]] in 2003. Eliasson used [[humidifiers]] to create a fine mist in the air via a mixture of [[sugar]] and water, as well as a semi-circular disc made up of hundreds of [[monochromatic]] lamps which radiated yellow light.

It is also used as a food coloring for mustard and other products.<ref>Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs – pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', pp. 80–81.</ref> * [[Saffron]], like turmeric, is one of the rare dyes that is also a [[spice]] and food colorant. It is made from the dried red [[Stigma (botany)|stigma]] of the [[crocus sativus]] flower. It must be picked by hand and it takes 150 flowers to obtain a single gram of stigma, so it is extremely expensive. It probably originated in the Mediterranean or Southwest Asia, and its use was detailed in a 7th-century BC Assyrian botanical reference compiled under [[Ashurbanipal]].{{Sfn|Russo|Dreher|Mathre|2003|p=6}} It was known in India at the time of the [[Buddha]], and after his death his followers decreed that monks should wear robes the color of saffron. Saffron was used to dye the robes of the senior Buddhist monks, while ordinary monks wore robes dyed with [[Gamboge]] or [[Curcuma longa]], also known as Turmeric. The color of saffron comes from [[crocin]], a red variety of [[carotenoid]] natural pigment. The color of the dyed fabric varies from deep red to orange to yellow, depending upon the type of saffron and the process. Most saffron today comes from Iran, but it is also grown commercially in Spain, Italy and Kashmir in India, and as a boutique crop in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and other countries. In the United States, it has been cultivated by the [[Pennsylvania Dutch]] community since the early 18th century. Because of the high price of saffron, other similar dyes and spices are often sold under the name saffron; for instance, what is called ''Indian saffron'' is often really turmeric. * [[Reseda luteola]], also known as dyers weed, yellow weed or weld, has been used as a yellow dye from neolithic times. It grew wild along the roads and walls of Europe, and was introduced into North America, where it grows as a weed. It was used as both as a yellow dye, whose color was deep and lasting, and to dye fabric green, first by dyeing it blue with indigo, then dyeing it with reseda luteola to turn it a rich, solid and lasting green. It was the most common yellow dye in Europe from the Middle Ages until the 18th century, when it was replaced first by the bark of the quercitron tree from North America, then by synthetic dyes. It was also widely used in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire.<ref>Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs – pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', pp. 78–79.</ref> * [[Gamboge]] is a deep saffron to mustard yellow pigment and dye.<ref>''Oxford English Dictionary'', 2nd Ed.

In China, there are five directions of the compass; north, south, east, west, and the middle, each with a symbolic color. Yellow signifies the middle. China is called the Middle Kingdom; the palace of the Emperor was considered to be in the exact center of the world.<ref name="autogenerated82">Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', p. 82.</ref> The legendary first emperor of China was called the [[Yellow Emperor]]. The last emperor of China, [[Puyi]] (1906–67), described in his memoirs how every object which surrounded him as a child was yellow.

After the [[Song Dynasty]], bright yellow color can only be worn by the emperor. Distinguished visitors were honored with a yellow, not a red, carpet. In Chinese symbolism, yellow, red and green are masculine colors, while black and white are considered feminine. In the traditional symbolism of the two opposites which complement each other, the [[yin and yang]], the masculine yang is traditionally represented by yellow.

Yellow combined with red symbolized heat and energy. A room painted yellow feels warmer than a room painted white, and a lamp with yellow light seems more natural than a lamp with white light. As the color of light, yellow is also associated with knowledge and wisdom. In English and many other languages, "brilliant" and "bright" mean intelligent. In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. In medieval European symbolism, red symbolized passion, blue symbolized the spiritual, and yellow symbolized reason. In many European universities, yellow gowns and caps are worn by members of the faculty of physical and natural sciences, as yellow is the color of reason and research.<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', pp. 72–73.</ref> === Gold and blond === In ancient Greece and Rome, the gods were often depicted with yellow, or blonde hair; which was described in literature as 'golden'.

It is also often used for warning signs, since yellow traditionally signals caution, rather than danger. [[Shades of yellow#Safety yellow|Safety yellow]] is often used for safety and accident prevention information. A yellow light on a traffic signal means slow down, but not stop. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) uses Pantone 116 (a yellow hue) as their standard color implying "general warning," while the Federal Highway Administration similarly uses yellow to communicate warning or caution on highway signage.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> A yellow [[penalty card]] in a soccer match means warning, but not expulsion.<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:First Student 132.jpg|School bus File:Gelber Briefkasten der Deutschen Post.JPG|A mailbox in Germany.

The robe and its color is a sign of renunciation of the outside world and commitment to the order. The candidate monk, with his master, first appears before the monks of the monastery in his own clothes, with his new robe under his arm, and asks to enter the order. He then takes his vows, puts on the robes, and with his begging bowl, goes out to the world. Thereafter, he spends his mornings begging and his afternoons in contemplation and study, either in a forest, garden, or in the monastery.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64">Henri Arvon (1951). ''Le bouddhisme'', pp. 61–64.</ref> According to Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, the robe dye is allowed to be obtained from six kinds of substances: roots and tubers, plants, bark, leaves, flowers and fruits. The robes should also be boiled in water a long time to get the correctly sober color. Saffron and ochre, usually made with dye from the [[curcuma longa]] plant or the heartwood of the [[jackfruit]] tree, are the most common colors. The so-called forest monks usually wear ochre robes and city monks saffron, though this is not an official rule.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/robe_txt.htm|title=The Buddhanet- buddhist studies- the monastic robe|accessdate=9 October 2013}}</ref> The color of robes also varies somewhat among the different "vehicles", or schools of Buddhism, and by country, depending on their doctrines and the dyes available. The monks of the strict [[Vajrayana]], or [[Tantric Buddhism]], practiced in [[Tibet]], wear the most colorful robes of saffron and red. The monks of [[Mahayana Buddhism]], practiced mainly in Japan, China and Korea, wear lighter yellow or saffron, often with white or black. Monks of [[Hinayana Buddhism]], practiced in Southeast Asia, usually wear ochre or saffron color. Monks of the forest tradition in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia wear robes of a brownish ochre, dyed from the wood of the [[jackfruit]] tree.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64" /><ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62">Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs- pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', p. 62.</ref> * In [[Hinduism]], the divinity [[Krishna]] is commonly portrayed dressed in yellow. Yellow and saffron are also the colors worn by [[sadhu]], or wandering holy men in India. The Hindu almighty and divine god Lord Ganesha or Ganpati is mostly dressed with a dhotar in yellow, which is popularly known as pivla pitambar and is considered to be the most auspicious one. * In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. * In the religions of the islands of [[Polynesia]], yellow is a sacred color, the color of the divine essence; the word "yellow" in the local languages is the same as the name of the [[curcuma longa]] plant, which is considered the food of the gods.<ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62" /> * In the [[Roman Catholic Church]], yellow symbolizes gold, and in [[Christian mythology]] the golden key to the Kingdom of Heaven, which divine Christ gave to Saint Peter. The flag of the [[Vatican City]] and the colors of the pope are yellow and white, symbolizing the gold key and the silver key. White and yellow together can also symbolize [[easter]], rebirth and Resurrection. Yellow also has a negative meaning, symbolizing betrayal; [[Judas Iscariot]] is usually portrayed wearing a pale yellow toga. Yellow and golden [[Halo (religious iconography)|halos]] mark the saints in religious paintings. <gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:Rank celebration of Thai Buddhist monk 1.jpg|Buddhist monks at the promotion ceremony of a monk in Thailand File:Buddhist monks of Tibet7.jpg|Buddhist monks in [[Tibet]] File:Ueno monk.jpg|A Japanese Buddhist monk in downtown Tokyo File:Sadou Kathmandu 04 04.jpg|A Hindu [[sadhu]], or ascetic wandering monk or holy man, in [[Kathmandu]], [[Nepal]].

In color printing, yellow is one of the three colors of ink, along with [[magenta]] and [[cyan]], which, along with black, can be overlaid in the right combination, along with black, to print any full color image.

This definition, however, does not constrain what version of white will be specified. In the nineteenth century, the scientists [[Grassmann]] and [[Helmholtz]] did experiments in which they concluded that finding a good complement for spectral yellow was difficult, but that the result was indigo, that is, a wavelength that today's color scientists would call '''violet or purple'''.

These results, that the complement of yellow is a wavelength shorter than 450&nbsp;nm, are derivable from the modern [[CIE 1931]] system of colorimetry if it is assumed that the yellow is about 580&nbsp;nm or shorter wavelength, and the specified white is the color of a blackbody radiator of temperature 2800 [[Kelvin|K]] or lower (that is, the white of an ordinary incandescent light bulb). More typically, with a daylight-colored or around 5000 to 6000 K white, the complement of yellow will be in the blue wavelength range, which is the standard modern answer for the complement of yellow. Because of the characteristics of paint pigments and use of different [[Color wheel|color wheels]], painters traditionally regard the complement of yellow as the color indigo or blue-violet. ==== Lasers ==== [[Laser|Lasers]] emitting in the yellow part of the spectrum are less common and more expensive than most other colors.<ref name="laserglow">{{cite web|url=http://www.laserglow.com/index.php?portable|title=Laserglow – Blue, Red, Yellow, Green Lasers|publisher=Laserglow.com|accessdate=27 March 2009|quote=described as an "extremely rare yellow".}}</ref> In commercial products diode pumped solid state ([[Diode-pumped solid-state laser|DPSS]]) technology is employed to create the yellow light.

They serve two key roles in plants and algae: they absorb light energy for use in [[photosynthesis]], and they protect the green [[chlorophyll]] from photodamage.<ref name="fasebj.org" /> In late summer, as [[daylight]] hours shorten and temperatures cool, the [[Vein|veins]] that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off. The water and [[mineral]] intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. It is during this time that the chlorophyll begins to decrease. As the chlorophyll diminishes, the yellow and red carotenoids become more and more visible, creating the classic [[autumn leaf color]]. Carotenoids are common in many living things; they give the characteristic color to [[Carrot|carrots]], [[maize]], [[Daffodil|daffodils]], [[Rutabaga|rutabagas]], [[Buttercup|buttercups]] and bananas. They are responsible for the red of cooked [[Lobster|lobsters]], the pink of [[flamingoes]] and [[salmon]] and the yellow of [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[Egg yolk|egg yolks]]. [[Xanthophylls]] are the most common yellow [[Pigment|pigments]] that form one of two major divisions of the carotenoid group. The name is from Greek ''xanthos'' ('''ξανθος''', "yellow") + ''phyllon'' ('''φύλλον''', "leaf"). Xanthophylls are most commonly found in the leaves of green plants, but they also find their way into animals through the food they eat. For example, the yellow color of chicken egg yolks, fat, and skin comes from the feed the chickens consume. Chicken farmers understand this, and often add [[Xanthophyll|xanthophylls]], usually [[lutein]], to make the egg yolks more yellow. Bananas are green when they are picked because of the chlorophyll their skin contains. Once picked, they begin to ripen; [[hormones]] in the bananas convert amino acids into ethylene gas, which stimulates the production of several [[enzymes]]. These enzymes start to change the color, texture and flavor of the banana. The green chlorophyll supply is stopped and the yellow color of the carotenoids replaces it; eventually, as the enzymes continue their work, the cell walls break down and the bananas turn brown.<gallery mode="packed" heights="140px"> File:Fall colors near the Eagle Lake trailhead.jpg|Autumn colors along the [[Eagle River (Cook Inlet)|Eagle River]] near [[Anchorage]], [[Alaska]] File:Cornwall Daffodils.jpg|[[Daffodils]] in [[Cornwall]] File:Bananas.jpg|[[Banana]]s, like autumn [[leaves]], [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[egg yolks]], get their yellow color from natural pigments called [[carotenoids]].

The cave of [[Lascaux]] has an image of a horse colored with yellow estimated to be 17,300 years old. === Ancient history === In Ancient [[Egypt]], yellow was associated with gold, which was considered to be imperishable, eternal and indestructible. The skin and bones of the gods were believed to be made of [[gold]]. The Egyptians used yellow extensively in tomb paintings; they usually used either yellow ochre or the brilliant [[orpiment]], though it was made of [[arsenic]] and was highly toxic. A small paintbox with orpiment pigment was found in the tomb of King [[Tutankhamun]]. Men were always shown with brown faces, women with yellow ochre or gold faces.<ref name="webexhibits.org" /> The ancient Romans used yellow in their paintings to represent [[gold]] and also in skin tones. It is found frequently in the murals of [[Pompeii]].<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:Lascaux2.jpg|Image of a horse colored with [[yellow ochre]]. from [[Lascaux]] cave.

File:Flag of Palaeologus Dynasty.svg|The flag of the [[Paleologus dynasty]] of Byzantine emperors was red and gold. </gallery> === Post-classical history === During the Post-Classical period, yellow became firmly established as the color of [[Judas Iscariot]], the disciple who betrayed [[Jesus Christ]], even though the [[Bible]] never describes his clothing. From this connection, yellow also took on associations with [[envy]], [[jealousy]] and duplicity. The tradition started in the Renaissance of marking non-Christian outsiders, such as Jews, with the color yellow. In 16th century Spain, those accused of [[heresy]] and who refused to renounce their views were compelled to come before the [[Spanish Inquisition]] dressed in a yellow cape.<ref>Eva Heller (2000). ''Psychologie de la couleur -effets et symboliques'', p. 82.</ref> The color yellow has been historically associated with moneylenders and finance. The [[National Pawnbrokers Association]]'s logo depicts three golden spheres hanging from a bar, referencing the three bags of gold that the patron saint of pawnbroking, [[Nicholas of Myra|St. Nicholas]], holds in his hands.

Turner]] was one of the first in that century to use yellow to create moods and emotions, the way romantic composers were using music. His painting ''Rain, Steam, and Speed – the Great Central Railway'' was dominated by glowing yellow clouds. [[Georges Seurat]] used the new synthetic colors in his experimental paintings composed of tiny points of primary colors, particularly in his famous ''Sunday Afternoon on the Isle de la Grand jatte'' (1884–86). He did not know that the new synthetic yellow pigment, zinc yellow or [[zinc chromate]], which he used in the light green lawns, was highly unstable and would quickly turn brown.<ref>John Gage, (1993), ''Colour and Culture – Practice and Meaning from Antiquity to Abstraction'', p. 220.</ref> The painter [[Vincent van Gogh]] was a particular admirer of the color yellow, the color of sunshine. Writing to his sister from the south of France in 1888, he wrote, "Now we are having beautiful warm, windless weather that is very beneficial to me. The sun, a light that for lack of a better word I can only call yellow, bright sulfur yellow, pale lemon gold. How beautiful yellow is!" In Arles, Van Gogh painted sunflowers inside a small house he rented at 2 Place Lamartine, a house painted with a color that Van Gogh described as "buttery yellow." Van Gogh was one of the first artists to use commercially manufactured paints, rather than paints he made himself. He used the traditional yellow ochre, but also [[chrome yellow]], first made in 1809, and [[cadmium yellow]], first made in 1820.<ref>Stefano Zuffi (2012), ''Color in Art'', pp. 96–97.</ref> At the end of the 19th century, in 1895, a new popular art form began to appear in New York newspapers; the color [[comic strip]]. It took advantage of a new [[color printing]] process, which used [[color separation]] and three different colors of ink; magenta, cyan, and yellow, plus black, to create all the colors on the page. One of the first characters in the new comic strips was a humorous boy of the New York streets named Mickey Dugen, more commonly known as the [[Yellow Kid]], from the yellow nightshirt he wore.

Jews in [[Nazi Germany]] and German-occupied countries were required to sew yellow triangles with the star of David onto their clothing. In the 20th century, modernist painters reduced painting to its simplest colors and geometric shapes. The Dutch modernist painter [[Piet Mondrian]] made a series of paintings which consisted of a pure white canvas with a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and rectangles of yellow, red, and blue. Yellow was particularly valued in the 20th century because of its high visibility. Because of its ability to be seen well from greater distances and at high speeds, yellow makes for the ideal color to be viewed from moving automobiles.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> It often replaced red as the color of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, and was popular in neon signs, especially in [[Las Vegas]] and in China, where yellow was the most esteemed color. In the 1960s, Pickett Brand developed the "Eye Saver Yellow" [[slide rule]], which was produced with a specific yellow color (Angstrom 5600) that reflects long-wavelength rays and promotes optimum eye-ease to help prevent eyestrain and improve visual accuracy.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> The 21st century saw the use of unusual materials and technologies to create new ways of experiencing the color yellow. One example was ''The weather project'', by Danish-Icelandic artist [[Olafur Eliasson]], which was installed in the open space of the Turbine Hall of London's [[Tate Modern]] in 2003. Eliasson used [[humidifiers]] to create a fine mist in the air via a mixture of [[sugar]] and water, as well as a semi-circular disc made up of hundreds of [[monochromatic]] lamps which radiated yellow light. The ceiling of the hall was covered with a huge [[mirror]], in which visitors could see themselves as tiny black shadows against a mass of light.<ref name="newyorker.com">Cynthia Zarin (November 13, 2006), [http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/11/13/061113fa_fact_zarin#ixzz1FQvk1dMc Seeing Things.

It probably originated in the Mediterranean or Southwest Asia, and its use was detailed in a 7th-century BC Assyrian botanical reference compiled under [[Ashurbanipal]].{{Sfn|Russo|Dreher|Mathre|2003|p=6}} It was known in India at the time of the [[Buddha]], and after his death his followers decreed that monks should wear robes the color of saffron. Saffron was used to dye the robes of the senior Buddhist monks, while ordinary monks wore robes dyed with [[Gamboge]] or [[Curcuma longa]], also known as Turmeric. The color of saffron comes from [[crocin]], a red variety of [[carotenoid]] natural pigment. The color of the dyed fabric varies from deep red to orange to yellow, depending upon the type of saffron and the process. Most saffron today comes from Iran, but it is also grown commercially in Spain, Italy and Kashmir in India, and as a boutique crop in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and other countries. In the United States, it has been cultivated by the [[Pennsylvania Dutch]] community since the early 18th century. Because of the high price of saffron, other similar dyes and spices are often sold under the name saffron; for instance, what is called ''Indian saffron'' is often really turmeric. * [[Reseda luteola]], also known as dyers weed, yellow weed or weld, has been used as a yellow dye from neolithic times. It grew wild along the roads and walls of Europe, and was introduced into North America, where it grows as a weed. It was used as both as a yellow dye, whose color was deep and lasting, and to dye fabric green, first by dyeing it blue with indigo, then dyeing it with reseda luteola to turn it a rich, solid and lasting green. It was the most common yellow dye in Europe from the Middle Ages until the 18th century, when it was replaced first by the bark of the quercitron tree from North America, then by synthetic dyes. It was also widely used in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire.<ref>Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs – pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', pp. 78–79.</ref> * [[Gamboge]] is a deep saffron to mustard yellow pigment and dye.<ref>''Oxford English Dictionary'', 2nd Ed.

In China, there are five directions of the compass; north, south, east, west, and the middle, each with a symbolic color. Yellow signifies the middle. China is called the Middle Kingdom; the palace of the Emperor was considered to be in the exact center of the world.<ref name="autogenerated82">Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', p. 82.</ref> The legendary first emperor of China was called the [[Yellow Emperor]]. The last emperor of China, [[Puyi]] (1906–67), described in his memoirs how every object which surrounded him as a child was yellow.

After the [[Song Dynasty]], bright yellow color can only be worn by the emperor. Distinguished visitors were honored with a yellow, not a red, carpet. In Chinese symbolism, yellow, red and green are masculine colors, while black and white are considered feminine. In the traditional symbolism of the two opposites which complement each other, the [[yin and yang]], the masculine yang is traditionally represented by yellow.

Yellow combined with red symbolized heat and energy. A room painted yellow feels warmer than a room painted white, and a lamp with yellow light seems more natural than a lamp with white light. As the color of light, yellow is also associated with knowledge and wisdom. In English and many other languages, "brilliant" and "bright" mean intelligent. In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. In medieval European symbolism, red symbolized passion, blue symbolized the spiritual, and yellow symbolized reason.

It is also often used for warning signs, since yellow traditionally signals caution, rather than danger. [[Shades of yellow#Safety yellow|Safety yellow]] is often used for safety and accident prevention information. A yellow light on a traffic signal means slow down, but not stop. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) uses Pantone 116 (a yellow hue) as their standard color implying "general warning," while the Federal Highway Administration similarly uses yellow to communicate warning or caution on highway signage.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> A yellow [[penalty card]] in a soccer match means warning, but not expulsion.<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:First Student 132.jpg|School bus File:Gelber Briefkasten der Deutschen Post.JPG|A mailbox in Germany.

While many flags use yellow, their symbolism varies widely, from civic virtue to golden treasure, golden fields, the desert, royalty, the keys to Heaven and the leadership of the Communist Party. In classic European [[heraldry]], yellow, along with white, is one of the two [[Tincture (heraldry)|metals]] (called gold and silver) and therefore flags following heraldic design rules must use either yellow or white to separate any of their other colors (see [[rule of tincture]]).<gallery mode="packed" heights="100px"> File:Flag of India.svg|[[Flag of India]] (1947).

The robe and its color is a sign of renunciation of the outside world and commitment to the order. The candidate monk, with his master, first appears before the monks of the monastery in his own clothes, with his new robe under his arm, and asks to enter the order. He then takes his vows, puts on the robes, and with his begging bowl, goes out to the world. Thereafter, he spends his mornings begging and his afternoons in contemplation and study, either in a forest, garden, or in the monastery.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64">Henri Arvon (1951). ''Le bouddhisme'', pp. 61–64.</ref> According to Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, the robe dye is allowed to be obtained from six kinds of substances: roots and tubers, plants, bark, leaves, flowers and fruits. The robes should also be boiled in water a long time to get the correctly sober color. Saffron and ochre, usually made with dye from the [[curcuma longa]] plant or the heartwood of the [[jackfruit]] tree, are the most common colors. The so-called forest monks usually wear ochre robes and city monks saffron, though this is not an official rule.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/robe_txt.htm|title=The Buddhanet- buddhist studies- the monastic robe|accessdate=9 October 2013}}</ref> The color of robes also varies somewhat among the different "vehicles", or schools of Buddhism, and by country, depending on their doctrines and the dyes available. The monks of the strict [[Vajrayana]], or [[Tantric Buddhism]], practiced in [[Tibet]], wear the most colorful robes of saffron and red. The monks of [[Mahayana Buddhism]], practiced mainly in Japan, China and Korea, wear lighter yellow or saffron, often with white or black. Monks of [[Hinayana Buddhism]], practiced in Southeast Asia, usually wear ochre or saffron color. Monks of the forest tradition in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia wear robes of a brownish ochre, dyed from the wood of the [[jackfruit]] tree.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64" /><ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62">Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs- pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', p. 62.</ref> * In [[Hinduism]], the divinity [[Krishna]] is commonly portrayed dressed in yellow. Yellow and saffron are also the colors worn by [[sadhu]], or wandering holy men in India. The Hindu almighty and divine god Lord Ganesha or Ganpati is mostly dressed with a dhotar in yellow, which is popularly known as pivla pitambar and is considered to be the most auspicious one. * In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. * In the religions of the islands of [[Polynesia]], yellow is a sacred color, the color of the divine essence; the word "yellow" in the local languages is the same as the name of the [[curcuma longa]] plant, which is considered the food of the gods.<ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62" /> * In the [[Roman Catholic Church]], yellow symbolizes gold, and in [[Christian mythology]] the golden key to the Kingdom of Heaven, which divine Christ gave to Saint Peter. The flag of the [[Vatican City]] and the colors of the pope are yellow and white, symbolizing the gold key and the silver key. White and yellow together can also symbolize [[easter]], rebirth and Resurrection. Yellow also has a negative meaning, symbolizing betrayal; [[Judas Iscariot]] is usually portrayed wearing a pale yellow toga.

It is the color the human eye sees when it looks at light with a [[dominant wavelength]] between 570 and 590 nanometers. In color printing, yellow is one of the three colors of ink, along with [[magenta]] and [[cyan]], which, along with black, can be overlaid in the right combination, along with black, to print any full color image. (See the [[CMYK color model]]). A particular yellow is used, called Process yellow (also known as "pigment yellow", "printer's yellow", and "canary yellow") subtractive [[Primary color|primary colors]], along with [[magenta]] and [[cyan]]. Process yellow is not an RGB color, and there is no fixed conversion from CMYK primaries to RGB. Different formulations are used for printer's ink, so there can be variations in the printed color that is pure yellow ink. The yellow on a color television or computer screen is created in a completely different way; by combining green and red light at the right level of intensity. (See [[RGB color model]]). ==== Complementary colors ==== [[File:PlanckianLocusWithYellowComplements.png|thumb|Complements of yellow have a dominant wavelength in the range 380 to 480&nbsp;nm.

This definition, however, does not constrain what version of white will be specified. In the nineteenth century, the scientists [[Grassmann]] and [[Helmholtz]] did experiments in which they concluded that finding a good complement for spectral yellow was difficult, but that the result was indigo, that is, a wavelength that today's color scientists would call '''violet or purple'''. Helmholtz says "Yellow and indigo blue" are complements.<ref>{{cite book|title=Physiological Optics|first=Hermann|last=von Helmholtz|publisher=Dover|year=1924|isbn=978-0-486-44260-0}}</ref> Grassmann reconstructs Newton's category boundaries in terms of wavelengths and says "This indigo therefore falls within the limits of color between which, according to Helmholtz, the complementary colors of yellow lie."<ref>{{cite journal|title=Theory of Compound Colors|first=Hermann Günter|last=Grassmann|journal=Philosophical Magazine|volume=4|year=1854|pages=254–64}}</ref> Newton's own color circle has yellow directly opposite the boundary between indigo and violet. These results, that the complement of yellow is a wavelength shorter than 450&nbsp;nm, are derivable from the modern [[CIE 1931]] system of colorimetry if it is assumed that the yellow is about 580&nbsp;nm or shorter wavelength, and the specified white is the color of a blackbody radiator of temperature 2800 [[Kelvin|K]] or lower (that is, the white of an ordinary incandescent light bulb). More typically, with a daylight-colored or around 5000 to 6000 K white, the complement of yellow will be in the blue wavelength range, which is the standard modern answer for the complement of yellow. Because of the characteristics of paint pigments and use of different [[Color wheel|color wheels]], painters traditionally regard the complement of yellow as the color indigo or blue-violet. ==== Lasers ==== [[Laser|Lasers]] emitting in the yellow part of the spectrum are less common and more expensive than most other colors.<ref name="laserglow">{{cite web|url=http://www.laserglow.com/index.php?portable|title=Laserglow – Blue, Red, Yellow, Green Lasers|publisher=Laserglow.com|accessdate=27 March 2009|quote=described as an "extremely rare yellow".}}</ref> In commercial products diode pumped solid state ([[Diode-pumped solid-state laser|DPSS]]) technology is employed to create the yellow light.

They serve two key roles in plants and algae: they absorb light energy for use in [[photosynthesis]], and they protect the green [[chlorophyll]] from photodamage.<ref name="fasebj.org" /> In late summer, as [[daylight]] hours shorten and temperatures cool, the [[Vein|veins]] that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off. The water and [[mineral]] intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. It is during this time that the chlorophyll begins to decrease. As the chlorophyll diminishes, the yellow and red carotenoids become more and more visible, creating the classic [[autumn leaf color]]. Carotenoids are common in many living things; they give the characteristic color to [[Carrot|carrots]], [[maize]], [[Daffodil|daffodils]], [[Rutabaga|rutabagas]], [[Buttercup|buttercups]] and bananas. They are responsible for the red of cooked [[Lobster|lobsters]], the pink of [[flamingoes]] and [[salmon]] and the yellow of [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[Egg yolk|egg yolks]]. [[Xanthophylls]] are the most common yellow [[Pigment|pigments]] that form one of two major divisions of the carotenoid group. The name is from Greek ''xanthos'' ('''ξανθος''', "yellow") + ''phyllon'' ('''φύλλον''', "leaf"). Xanthophylls are most commonly found in the leaves of green plants, but they also find their way into animals through the food they eat. For example, the yellow color of chicken egg yolks, fat, and skin comes from the feed the chickens consume. Chicken farmers understand this, and often add [[Xanthophyll|xanthophylls]], usually [[lutein]], to make the egg yolks more yellow. Bananas are green when they are picked because of the chlorophyll their skin contains. Once picked, they begin to ripen; [[hormones]] in the bananas convert amino acids into ethylene gas, which stimulates the production of several [[enzymes]]. These enzymes start to change the color, texture and flavor of the banana. The green chlorophyll supply is stopped and the yellow color of the carotenoids replaces it; eventually, as the enzymes continue their work, the cell walls break down and the bananas turn brown.<gallery mode="packed" heights="140px"> File:Fall colors near the Eagle Lake trailhead.jpg|Autumn colors along the [[Eagle River (Cook Inlet)|Eagle River]] near [[Anchorage]], [[Alaska]] File:Cornwall Daffodils.jpg|[[Daffodils]] in [[Cornwall]] File:Bananas.jpg|[[Banana]]s, like autumn [[leaves]], [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[egg yolks]], get their yellow color from natural pigments called [[carotenoids]].

The cave of [[Lascaux]] has an image of a horse colored with yellow estimated to be 17,300 years old. === Ancient history === In Ancient [[Egypt]], yellow was associated with gold, which was considered to be imperishable, eternal and indestructible. The skin and bones of the gods were believed to be made of [[gold]]. The Egyptians used yellow extensively in tomb paintings; they usually used either yellow ochre or the brilliant [[orpiment]], though it was made of [[arsenic]] and was highly toxic. A small paintbox with orpiment pigment was found in the tomb of King [[Tutankhamun]]. Men were always shown with brown faces, women with yellow ochre or gold faces.<ref name="webexhibits.org" /> The ancient Romans used yellow in their paintings to represent [[gold]] and also in skin tones. It is found frequently in the murals of [[Pompeii]].<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:Lascaux2.jpg|Image of a horse colored with [[yellow ochre]]. from [[Lascaux]] cave.

File:Flag of Palaeologus Dynasty.svg|The flag of the [[Paleologus dynasty]] of Byzantine emperors was red and gold. </gallery> === Post-classical history === During the Post-Classical period, yellow became firmly established as the color of [[Judas Iscariot]], the disciple who betrayed [[Jesus Christ]], even though the [[Bible]] never describes his clothing. From this connection, yellow also took on associations with [[envy]], [[jealousy]] and duplicity. The tradition started in the Renaissance of marking non-Christian outsiders, such as Jews, with the color yellow. In 16th century Spain, those accused of [[heresy]] and who refused to renounce their views were compelled to come before the [[Spanish Inquisition]] dressed in a yellow cape.<ref>Eva Heller (2000). ''Psychologie de la couleur -effets et symboliques'', p. 82.</ref> The color yellow has been historically associated with moneylenders and finance. The [[National Pawnbrokers Association]]'s logo depicts three golden spheres hanging from a bar, referencing the three bags of gold that the patron saint of pawnbroking, [[Nicholas of Myra|St. Nicholas]], holds in his hands. Additionally, the symbol of three golden orbs is found in the coat of arms of the [[House of Medici]], a famous fifteenth century Italian dynasty of bankers and lenders.<ref name="Yellowtown">{{Cite journal|last=Lewis|first=Karen|year=2010|title=Yellowtown: Urban Signage, Class, and Race|journal=Design and Culture|volume=2|issue=2}}</ref><gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:Thomas Becket Murder.JPG|[[Saffron]] was sometimes used as a pigment in Medieval manuscripts, such as this page showing the murder of [[Thomas Becket]] at [[Canterbury Cathedral]].

Turner]] was one of the first in that century to use yellow to create moods and emotions, the way romantic composers were using music. His painting ''Rain, Steam, and Speed – the Great Central Railway'' was dominated by glowing yellow clouds. [[Georges Seurat]] used the new synthetic colors in his experimental paintings composed of tiny points of primary colors, particularly in his famous ''Sunday Afternoon on the Isle de la Grand jatte'' (1884–86). He did not know that the new synthetic yellow pigment, zinc yellow or [[zinc chromate]], which he used in the light green lawns, was highly unstable and would quickly turn brown.<ref>John Gage, (1993), ''Colour and Culture – Practice and Meaning from Antiquity to Abstraction'', p. 220.</ref> The painter [[Vincent van Gogh]] was a particular admirer of the color yellow, the color of sunshine. Writing to his sister from the south of France in 1888, he wrote, "Now we are having beautiful warm, windless weather that is very beneficial to me. The sun, a light that for lack of a better word I can only call yellow, bright sulfur yellow, pale lemon gold. How beautiful yellow is!" In Arles, Van Gogh painted sunflowers inside a small house he rented at 2 Place Lamartine, a house painted with a color that Van Gogh described as "buttery yellow." Van Gogh was one of the first artists to use commercially manufactured paints, rather than paints he made himself. He used the traditional yellow ochre, but also [[chrome yellow]], first made in 1809, and [[cadmium yellow]], first made in 1820.<ref>Stefano Zuffi (2012), ''Color in Art'', pp. 96–97.</ref> At the end of the 19th century, in 1895, a new popular art form began to appear in New York newspapers; the color [[comic strip]]. It took advantage of a new [[color printing]] process, which used [[color separation]] and three different colors of ink; magenta, cyan, and yellow, plus black, to create all the colors on the page. One of the first characters in the new comic strips was a humorous boy of the New York streets named Mickey Dugen, more commonly known as the [[Yellow Kid]], from the yellow nightshirt he wore. He gave his name (and color) to the whole genre of popular, sensational journalism, which became known as "[[yellow journalism]]".<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:Fragonard, The Reader.jpg|''[[A Young Girl Reading]]'', or ''The Reader''.

Jews in [[Nazi Germany]] and German-occupied countries were required to sew yellow triangles with the star of David onto their clothing. In the 20th century, modernist painters reduced painting to its simplest colors and geometric shapes. The Dutch modernist painter [[Piet Mondrian]] made a series of paintings which consisted of a pure white canvas with a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and rectangles of yellow, red, and blue. Yellow was particularly valued in the 20th century because of its high visibility. Because of its ability to be seen well from greater distances and at high speeds, yellow makes for the ideal color to be viewed from moving automobiles.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> It often replaced red as the color of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, and was popular in neon signs, especially in [[Las Vegas]] and in China, where yellow was the most esteemed color. In the 1960s, Pickett Brand developed the "Eye Saver Yellow" [[slide rule]], which was produced with a specific yellow color (Angstrom 5600) that reflects long-wavelength rays and promotes optimum eye-ease to help prevent eyestrain and improve visual accuracy.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> The 21st century saw the use of unusual materials and technologies to create new ways of experiencing the color yellow. One example was ''The weather project'', by Danish-Icelandic artist [[Olafur Eliasson]], which was installed in the open space of the Turbine Hall of London's [[Tate Modern]] in 2003. Eliasson used [[humidifiers]] to create a fine mist in the air via a mixture of [[sugar]] and water, as well as a semi-circular disc made up of hundreds of [[monochromatic]] lamps which radiated yellow light. The ceiling of the hall was covered with a huge [[mirror]], in which visitors could see themselves as tiny black shadows against a mass of light.<ref name="newyorker.com">Cynthia Zarin (November 13, 2006), [http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/11/13/061113fa_fact_zarin#ixzz1FQvk1dMc Seeing Things.

It is made from the dried red [[Stigma (botany)|stigma]] of the [[crocus sativus]] flower. It must be picked by hand and it takes 150 flowers to obtain a single gram of stigma, so it is extremely expensive. It probably originated in the Mediterranean or Southwest Asia, and its use was detailed in a 7th-century BC Assyrian botanical reference compiled under [[Ashurbanipal]].{{Sfn|Russo|Dreher|Mathre|2003|p=6}} It was known in India at the time of the [[Buddha]], and after his death his followers decreed that monks should wear robes the color of saffron. Saffron was used to dye the robes of the senior Buddhist monks, while ordinary monks wore robes dyed with [[Gamboge]] or [[Curcuma longa]], also known as Turmeric. The color of saffron comes from [[crocin]], a red variety of [[carotenoid]] natural pigment. The color of the dyed fabric varies from deep red to orange to yellow, depending upon the type of saffron and the process. Most saffron today comes from Iran, but it is also grown commercially in Spain, Italy and Kashmir in India, and as a boutique crop in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and other countries. In the United States, it has been cultivated by the [[Pennsylvania Dutch]] community since the early 18th century. Because of the high price of saffron, other similar dyes and spices are often sold under the name saffron; for instance, what is called ''Indian saffron'' is often really turmeric. * [[Reseda luteola]], also known as dyers weed, yellow weed or weld, has been used as a yellow dye from neolithic times. It grew wild along the roads and walls of Europe, and was introduced into North America, where it grows as a weed. It was used as both as a yellow dye, whose color was deep and lasting, and to dye fabric green, first by dyeing it blue with indigo, then dyeing it with reseda luteola to turn it a rich, solid and lasting green. It was the most common yellow dye in Europe from the Middle Ages until the 18th century, when it was replaced first by the bark of the quercitron tree from North America, then by synthetic dyes.

In China, there are five directions of the compass; north, south, east, west, and the middle, each with a symbolic color. Yellow signifies the middle. China is called the Middle Kingdom; the palace of the Emperor was considered to be in the exact center of the world.<ref name="autogenerated82">Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', p. 82.</ref> The legendary first emperor of China was called the [[Yellow Emperor]]. The last emperor of China, [[Puyi]] (1906–67), described in his memoirs how every object which surrounded him as a child was yellow.

After the [[Song Dynasty]], bright yellow color can only be worn by the emperor. Distinguished visitors were honored with a yellow, not a red, carpet. In Chinese symbolism, yellow, red and green are masculine colors, while black and white are considered feminine. In the traditional symbolism of the two opposites which complement each other, the [[yin and yang]], the masculine yang is traditionally represented by yellow. Just as there are five elements, five directions and five colors in the Chinese world-view, there are also five seasons; summer, winter, fall, spring, and the end of summer, symbolized by yellow leaves.<ref name="autogenerated82" /> In current [[Chinese culture|Chinese pop culture]], the term "yellow movie" (黃色電影) refers to films and other cultural items of a pornographic nature and is analogous to the English term "[[wiktionary:blue movie|blue movie]]".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1045153.stm|title=Chinese porn trader jailed for life|work=BBC News|accessdate=23 March 2009|first=Duncan|last=Hewitt|date=28 November 2000}}</ref> In 2007, this became the basis of the '[[very erotic very violent]]' (literally, 'very yellow very violent') controversy in mainland China.<gallery mode="packed" heights="180px"> File:Zhengde.jpg|Portrait of the [[Zhengde Emperor]] from the [[Ming dynasty]].

Yellow combined with red symbolized heat and energy. A room painted yellow feels warmer than a room painted white, and a lamp with yellow light seems more natural than a lamp with white light. As the color of light, yellow is also associated with knowledge and wisdom. In English and many other languages, "brilliant" and "bright" mean intelligent. In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. In medieval European symbolism, red symbolized passion, blue symbolized the spiritual, and yellow symbolized reason. In many European universities, yellow gowns and caps are worn by members of the faculty of physical and natural sciences, as yellow is the color of reason and research.<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', pp. 72–73.</ref> === Gold and blond === In ancient Greece and Rome, the gods were often depicted with yellow, or blonde hair; which was described in literature as 'golden'. The color yellow was associated with the sun gods [[Helios]] and [[Apollo]]. It was fashionable in ancient Greece for men and women to dye their hair yellow, or to spend time in the sun to bleach it.<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', p. 73.</ref> In ancient Rome, prostitutes were required to bleach their hair, to be easily identified, but it also became a fashionable hair color for aristocratic women, influenced by the exotic blonde hair of many of the newly conquered slaves from Gaul, Britain, and Germany.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://italianthro.blogspot.fr/2011/11/hair-dye-and-wigs-in-ancient-rome.html|title=Hair dye and wigs in Ancient Rome}}</ref> However, in medieval Europe and later, the word yellow often had negative connotations; associated with betrayal, so yellow hair was more poetically called 'blond,' 'light', 'fair,' or most often "golden".<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', p. 73.</ref> === Visibility and caution === Yellow is the most visible color from a distance, so it is often used for objects that need to be seen, such as fire engines, road maintenance equipment, school buses and taxicabs. It is also often used for warning signs, since yellow traditionally signals caution, rather than danger. [[Shades of yellow#Safety yellow|Safety yellow]] is often used for safety and accident prevention information. A yellow light on a traffic signal means slow down, but not stop. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) uses Pantone 116 (a yellow hue) as their standard color implying "general warning," while the Federal Highway Administration similarly uses yellow to communicate warning or caution on highway signage.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> A yellow [[penalty card]] in a soccer match means warning, but not expulsion.<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:First Student 132.jpg|School bus File:Gelber Briefkasten der Deutschen Post.JPG|A mailbox in Germany.

Liberal and pro-democracy political parties and organizations such as [[United Nationalist Democratic Organization|UNIDO]], [[PDP–Laban|PDP-Laban]], and the [[Liberal Party (Philippines)|Liberal Party]] have used the color yellow. More recently, it has become a pejorative term used by some pro-Ferdinand Marcos and pro-Rodrigo Duterte against the opposition. * Contemporary political parties using yellow include the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] and [[UKIP]] in the [[UK]], [[Scottish National Party|SNP]] in [[Scotland]] and [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]] in the US. * In France in November and December 2018, an opposition movement called the [[Yellow vests movement|Yellow Vests]] went into the streets to protest against the fiscal policies of President [[Emmanuel Macron]].

While many flags use yellow, their symbolism varies widely, from civic virtue to golden treasure, golden fields, the desert, royalty, the keys to Heaven and the leadership of the Communist Party. In classic European [[heraldry]], yellow, along with white, is one of the two [[Tincture (heraldry)|metals]] (called gold and silver) and therefore flags following heraldic design rules must use either yellow or white to separate any of their other colors (see [[rule of tincture]]).<gallery mode="packed" heights="100px"> File:Flag of India.svg|[[Flag of India]] (1947). The yellow color is officially called India saffron, and represents courage and sacrifice. File:Flag of Germany.svg|[[Flag of Germany]].

The robe and its color is a sign of renunciation of the outside world and commitment to the order. The candidate monk, with his master, first appears before the monks of the monastery in his own clothes, with his new robe under his arm, and asks to enter the order. He then takes his vows, puts on the robes, and with his begging bowl, goes out to the world. Thereafter, he spends his mornings begging and his afternoons in contemplation and study, either in a forest, garden, or in the monastery.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64">Henri Arvon (1951). ''Le bouddhisme'', pp. 61–64.</ref> According to Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, the robe dye is allowed to be obtained from six kinds of substances: roots and tubers, plants, bark, leaves, flowers and fruits. The robes should also be boiled in water a long time to get the correctly sober color. Saffron and ochre, usually made with dye from the [[curcuma longa]] plant or the heartwood of the [[jackfruit]] tree, are the most common colors. The so-called forest monks usually wear ochre robes and city monks saffron, though this is not an official rule.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/robe_txt.htm|title=The Buddhanet- buddhist studies- the monastic robe|accessdate=9 October 2013}}</ref> The color of robes also varies somewhat among the different "vehicles", or schools of Buddhism, and by country, depending on their doctrines and the dyes available. The monks of the strict [[Vajrayana]], or [[Tantric Buddhism]], practiced in [[Tibet]], wear the most colorful robes of saffron and red. The monks of [[Mahayana Buddhism]], practiced mainly in Japan, China and Korea, wear lighter yellow or saffron, often with white or black. Monks of [[Hinayana Buddhism]], practiced in Southeast Asia, usually wear ochre or saffron color. Monks of the forest tradition in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia wear robes of a brownish ochre, dyed from the wood of the [[jackfruit]] tree.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64" /><ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62">Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs- pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', p. 62.</ref> * In [[Hinduism]], the divinity [[Krishna]] is commonly portrayed dressed in yellow. Yellow and saffron are also the colors worn by [[sadhu]], or wandering holy men in India. The Hindu almighty and divine god Lord Ganesha or Ganpati is mostly dressed with a dhotar in yellow, which is popularly known as pivla pitambar and is considered to be the most auspicious one. * In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. * In the religions of the islands of [[Polynesia]], yellow is a sacred color, the color of the divine essence; the word "yellow" in the local languages is the same as the name of the [[curcuma longa]] plant, which is considered the food of the gods.<ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62" /> * In the [[Roman Catholic Church]], yellow symbolizes gold, and in [[Christian mythology]] the golden key to the Kingdom of Heaven, which divine Christ gave to Saint Peter. The flag of the [[Vatican City]] and the colors of the pope are yellow and white, symbolizing the gold key and the silver key. White and yellow together can also symbolize [[easter]], rebirth and Resurrection. Yellow also has a negative meaning, symbolizing betrayal; [[Judas Iscariot]] is usually portrayed wearing a pale yellow toga.

It is the color the human eye sees when it looks at light with a [[dominant wavelength]] between 570 and 590 nanometers. In color printing, yellow is one of the three colors of ink, along with [[magenta]] and [[cyan]], which, along with black, can be overlaid in the right combination, along with black, to print any full color image. (See the [[CMYK color model]]). A particular yellow is used, called Process yellow (also known as "pigment yellow", "printer's yellow", and "canary yellow") subtractive [[Primary color|primary colors]], along with [[magenta]] and [[cyan]]. Process yellow is not an RGB color, and there is no fixed conversion from CMYK primaries to RGB. Different formulations are used for printer's ink, so there can be variations in the printed color that is pure yellow ink. The yellow on a color television or computer screen is created in a completely different way; by combining green and red light at the right level of intensity. (See [[RGB color model]]). ==== Complementary colors ==== [[File:PlanckianLocusWithYellowComplements.png|thumb|Complements of yellow have a dominant wavelength in the range 380 to 480&nbsp;nm.

This definition, however, does not constrain what version of white will be specified. In the nineteenth century, the scientists [[Grassmann]] and [[Helmholtz]] did experiments in which they concluded that finding a good complement for spectral yellow was difficult, but that the result was indigo, that is, a wavelength that today's color scientists would call '''violet or purple'''. Helmholtz says "Yellow and indigo blue" are complements.<ref>{{cite book|title=Physiological Optics|first=Hermann|last=von Helmholtz|publisher=Dover|year=1924|isbn=978-0-486-44260-0}}</ref> Grassmann reconstructs Newton's category boundaries in terms of wavelengths and says "This indigo therefore falls within the limits of color between which, according to Helmholtz, the complementary colors of yellow lie."<ref>{{cite journal|title=Theory of Compound Colors|first=Hermann Günter|last=Grassmann|journal=Philosophical Magazine|volume=4|year=1854|pages=254–64}}</ref> Newton's own color circle has yellow directly opposite the boundary between indigo and violet. These results, that the complement of yellow is a wavelength shorter than 450&nbsp;nm, are derivable from the modern [[CIE 1931]] system of colorimetry if it is assumed that the yellow is about 580&nbsp;nm or shorter wavelength, and the specified white is the color of a blackbody radiator of temperature 2800 [[Kelvin|K]] or lower (that is, the white of an ordinary incandescent light bulb). More typically, with a daylight-colored or around 5000 to 6000 K white, the complement of yellow will be in the blue wavelength range, which is the standard modern answer for the complement of yellow. Because of the characteristics of paint pigments and use of different [[Color wheel|color wheels]], painters traditionally regard the complement of yellow as the color indigo or blue-violet. ==== Lasers ==== [[Laser|Lasers]] emitting in the yellow part of the spectrum are less common and more expensive than most other colors.<ref name="laserglow">{{cite web|url=http://www.laserglow.com/index.php?portable|title=Laserglow – Blue, Red, Yellow, Green Lasers|publisher=Laserglow.com|accessdate=27 March 2009|quote=described as an "extremely rare yellow".}}</ref> In commercial products diode pumped solid state ([[Diode-pumped solid-state laser|DPSS]]) technology is employed to create the yellow light. An infrared laser diode at 808&nbsp;nm is used to pump a crystal of neodymium-doped yttrium vanadium oxide (Nd:YVO4) or neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) and induces it to emit at two frequencies (281.76&nbsp;THz and 223.39&nbsp;THz: 1064&nbsp;nm and 1342&nbsp;nm wavelengths) simultaneously. This deeper infrared light is then passed through another crystal containing potassium, titanium and phosphorus (KTP), whose non-linear properties generate light at a frequency that is the sum of the two incident beams (505.15&nbsp;THz); in this case corresponding to the wavelength of 593.5&nbsp;nm ("yellow").<ref name="ledmuseum">{{cite web|url=http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/yelldpss.htm|title=Yellow (593.5&nbsp;nm) DPSS Laser Module|last=Johnson|first=Craig|date=22 March 2009|publisher=The LED Museum|accessdate=27 March 2009}}</ref> This wavelength is also available, though even more rarely, from a [[helium–neon laser]].

They serve two key roles in plants and algae: they absorb light energy for use in [[photosynthesis]], and they protect the green [[chlorophyll]] from photodamage.<ref name="fasebj.org" /> In late summer, as [[daylight]] hours shorten and temperatures cool, the [[Vein|veins]] that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off. The water and [[mineral]] intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. It is during this time that the chlorophyll begins to decrease. As the chlorophyll diminishes, the yellow and red carotenoids become more and more visible, creating the classic [[autumn leaf color]]. Carotenoids are common in many living things; they give the characteristic color to [[Carrot|carrots]], [[maize]], [[Daffodil|daffodils]], [[Rutabaga|rutabagas]], [[Buttercup|buttercups]] and bananas. They are responsible for the red of cooked [[Lobster|lobsters]], the pink of [[flamingoes]] and [[salmon]] and the yellow of [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[Egg yolk|egg yolks]]. [[Xanthophylls]] are the most common yellow [[Pigment|pigments]] that form one of two major divisions of the carotenoid group. The name is from Greek ''xanthos'' ('''ξανθος''', "yellow") + ''phyllon'' ('''φύλλον''', "leaf"). Xanthophylls are most commonly found in the leaves of green plants, but they also find their way into animals through the food they eat. For example, the yellow color of chicken egg yolks, fat, and skin comes from the feed the chickens consume. Chicken farmers understand this, and often add [[Xanthophyll|xanthophylls]], usually [[lutein]], to make the egg yolks more yellow. Bananas are green when they are picked because of the chlorophyll their skin contains. Once picked, they begin to ripen; [[hormones]] in the bananas convert amino acids into ethylene gas, which stimulates the production of several [[enzymes]]. These enzymes start to change the color, texture and flavor of the banana. The green chlorophyll supply is stopped and the yellow color of the carotenoids replaces it; eventually, as the enzymes continue their work, the cell walls break down and the bananas turn brown.<gallery mode="packed" heights="140px"> File:Fall colors near the Eagle Lake trailhead.jpg|Autumn colors along the [[Eagle River (Cook Inlet)|Eagle River]] near [[Anchorage]], [[Alaska]] File:Cornwall Daffodils.jpg|[[Daffodils]] in [[Cornwall]] File:Bananas.jpg|[[Banana]]s, like autumn [[leaves]], [[Domestic canary|canaries]] and [[egg yolks]], get their yellow color from natural pigments called [[carotenoids]].

The cave of [[Lascaux]] has an image of a horse colored with yellow estimated to be 17,300 years old. === Ancient history === In Ancient [[Egypt]], yellow was associated with gold, which was considered to be imperishable, eternal and indestructible. The skin and bones of the gods were believed to be made of [[gold]]. The Egyptians used yellow extensively in tomb paintings; they usually used either yellow ochre or the brilliant [[orpiment]], though it was made of [[arsenic]] and was highly toxic. A small paintbox with orpiment pigment was found in the tomb of King [[Tutankhamun]]. Men were always shown with brown faces, women with yellow ochre or gold faces.<ref name="webexhibits.org" /> The ancient Romans used yellow in their paintings to represent [[gold]] and also in skin tones.

From this connection, yellow also took on associations with [[envy]], [[jealousy]] and duplicity. The tradition started in the Renaissance of marking non-Christian outsiders, such as Jews, with the color yellow. In 16th century Spain, those accused of [[heresy]] and who refused to renounce their views were compelled to come before the [[Spanish Inquisition]] dressed in a yellow cape.<ref>Eva Heller (2000). ''Psychologie de la couleur -effets et symboliques'', p. 82.</ref> The color yellow has been historically associated with moneylenders and finance. The [[National Pawnbrokers Association]]'s logo depicts three golden spheres hanging from a bar, referencing the three bags of gold that the patron saint of pawnbroking, [[Nicholas of Myra|St. Nicholas]], holds in his hands.

Turner]] was one of the first in that century to use yellow to create moods and emotions, the way romantic composers were using music. His painting ''Rain, Steam, and Speed – the Great Central Railway'' was dominated by glowing yellow clouds. [[Georges Seurat]] used the new synthetic colors in his experimental paintings composed of tiny points of primary colors, particularly in his famous ''Sunday Afternoon on the Isle de la Grand jatte'' (1884–86). He did not know that the new synthetic yellow pigment, zinc yellow or [[zinc chromate]], which he used in the light green lawns, was highly unstable and would quickly turn brown.<ref>John Gage, (1993), ''Colour and Culture – Practice and Meaning from Antiquity to Abstraction'', p. 220.</ref> The painter [[Vincent van Gogh]] was a particular admirer of the color yellow, the color of sunshine. Writing to his sister from the south of France in 1888, he wrote, "Now we are having beautiful warm, windless weather that is very beneficial to me. The sun, a light that for lack of a better word I can only call yellow, bright sulfur yellow, pale lemon gold. How beautiful yellow is!" In Arles, Van Gogh painted sunflowers inside a small house he rented at 2 Place Lamartine, a house painted with a color that Van Gogh described as "buttery yellow." Van Gogh was one of the first artists to use commercially manufactured paints, rather than paints he made himself. He used the traditional yellow ochre, but also [[chrome yellow]], first made in 1809, and [[cadmium yellow]], first made in 1820.<ref>Stefano Zuffi (2012), ''Color in Art'', pp. 96–97.</ref> At the end of the 19th century, in 1895, a new popular art form began to appear in New York newspapers; the color [[comic strip]]. It took advantage of a new [[color printing]] process, which used [[color separation]] and three different colors of ink; magenta, cyan, and yellow, plus black, to create all the colors on the page. One of the first characters in the new comic strips was a humorous boy of the New York streets named Mickey Dugen, more commonly known as the [[Yellow Kid]], from the yellow nightshirt he wore.

Jews in [[Nazi Germany]] and German-occupied countries were required to sew yellow triangles with the star of David onto their clothing. In the 20th century, modernist painters reduced painting to its simplest colors and geometric shapes. The Dutch modernist painter [[Piet Mondrian]] made a series of paintings which consisted of a pure white canvas with a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and rectangles of yellow, red, and blue. Yellow was particularly valued in the 20th century because of its high visibility. Because of its ability to be seen well from greater distances and at high speeds, yellow makes for the ideal color to be viewed from moving automobiles.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> It often replaced red as the color of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, and was popular in neon signs, especially in [[Las Vegas]] and in China, where yellow was the most esteemed color. In the 1960s, Pickett Brand developed the "Eye Saver Yellow" [[slide rule]], which was produced with a specific yellow color (Angstrom 5600) that reflects long-wavelength rays and promotes optimum eye-ease to help prevent eyestrain and improve visual accuracy.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> The 21st century saw the use of unusual materials and technologies to create new ways of experiencing the color yellow. One example was ''The weather project'', by Danish-Icelandic artist [[Olafur Eliasson]], which was installed in the open space of the Turbine Hall of London's [[Tate Modern]] in 2003. Eliasson used [[humidifiers]] to create a fine mist in the air via a mixture of [[sugar]] and water, as well as a semi-circular disc made up of hundreds of [[monochromatic]] lamps which radiated yellow light. The ceiling of the hall was covered with a huge [[mirror]], in which visitors could see themselves as tiny black shadows against a mass of light.<ref name="newyorker.com">Cynthia Zarin (November 13, 2006), [http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/11/13/061113fa_fact_zarin#ixzz1FQvk1dMc Seeing Things.

It must be picked by hand and it takes 150 flowers to obtain a single gram of stigma, so it is extremely expensive. It probably originated in the Mediterranean or Southwest Asia, and its use was detailed in a 7th-century BC Assyrian botanical reference compiled under [[Ashurbanipal]].{{Sfn|Russo|Dreher|Mathre|2003|p=6}} It was known in India at the time of the [[Buddha]], and after his death his followers decreed that monks should wear robes the color of saffron. Saffron was used to dye the robes of the senior Buddhist monks, while ordinary monks wore robes dyed with [[Gamboge]] or [[Curcuma longa]], also known as Turmeric. The color of saffron comes from [[crocin]], a red variety of [[carotenoid]] natural pigment. The color of the dyed fabric varies from deep red to orange to yellow, depending upon the type of saffron and the process. Most saffron today comes from Iran, but it is also grown commercially in Spain, Italy and Kashmir in India, and as a boutique crop in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and other countries. In the United States, it has been cultivated by the [[Pennsylvania Dutch]] community since the early 18th century. Because of the high price of saffron, other similar dyes and spices are often sold under the name saffron; for instance, what is called ''Indian saffron'' is often really turmeric. * [[Reseda luteola]], also known as dyers weed, yellow weed or weld, has been used as a yellow dye from neolithic times. It grew wild along the roads and walls of Europe, and was introduced into North America, where it grows as a weed. It was used as both as a yellow dye, whose color was deep and lasting, and to dye fabric green, first by dyeing it blue with indigo, then dyeing it with reseda luteola to turn it a rich, solid and lasting green. It was the most common yellow dye in Europe from the Middle Ages until the 18th century, when it was replaced first by the bark of the quercitron tree from North America, then by synthetic dyes.

In the traditional symbolism of the two opposites which complement each other, the [[yin and yang]], the masculine yang is traditionally represented by yellow. Just as there are five elements, five directions and five colors in the Chinese world-view, there are also five seasons; summer, winter, fall, spring, and the end of summer, symbolized by yellow leaves.<ref name="autogenerated82" /> In current [[Chinese culture|Chinese pop culture]], the term "yellow movie" (黃色電影) refers to films and other cultural items of a pornographic nature and is analogous to the English term "[[wiktionary:blue movie|blue movie]]".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1045153.stm|title=Chinese porn trader jailed for life|work=BBC News|accessdate=23 March 2009|first=Duncan|last=Hewitt|date=28 November 2000}}</ref> In 2007, this became the basis of the '[[very erotic very violent]]' (literally, 'very yellow very violent') controversy in mainland China.<gallery mode="packed" heights="180px"> File:Zhengde.jpg|Portrait of the [[Zhengde Emperor]] from the [[Ming dynasty]].

Yellow combined with red symbolized heat and energy. A room painted yellow feels warmer than a room painted white, and a lamp with yellow light seems more natural than a lamp with white light. As the color of light, yellow is also associated with knowledge and wisdom. In English and many other languages, "brilliant" and "bright" mean intelligent. In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. In medieval European symbolism, red symbolized passion, blue symbolized the spiritual, and yellow symbolized reason. In many European universities, yellow gowns and caps are worn by members of the faculty of physical and natural sciences, as yellow is the color of reason and research.<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', pp. 72–73.</ref> === Gold and blond === In ancient Greece and Rome, the gods were often depicted with yellow, or blonde hair; which was described in literature as 'golden'. The color yellow was associated with the sun gods [[Helios]] and [[Apollo]]. It was fashionable in ancient Greece for men and women to dye their hair yellow, or to spend time in the sun to bleach it.<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', p. 73.</ref> In ancient Rome, prostitutes were required to bleach their hair, to be easily identified, but it also became a fashionable hair color for aristocratic women, influenced by the exotic blonde hair of many of the newly conquered slaves from Gaul, Britain, and Germany.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://italianthro.blogspot.fr/2011/11/hair-dye-and-wigs-in-ancient-rome.html|title=Hair dye and wigs in Ancient Rome}}</ref> However, in medieval Europe and later, the word yellow often had negative connotations; associated with betrayal, so yellow hair was more poetically called 'blond,' 'light', 'fair,' or most often "golden".<ref>Eva Heller (2000), ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', p. 73.</ref> === Visibility and caution === Yellow is the most visible color from a distance, so it is often used for objects that need to be seen, such as fire engines, road maintenance equipment, school buses and taxicabs. It is also often used for warning signs, since yellow traditionally signals caution, rather than danger. [[Shades of yellow#Safety yellow|Safety yellow]] is often used for safety and accident prevention information. A yellow light on a traffic signal means slow down, but not stop. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) uses Pantone 116 (a yellow hue) as their standard color implying "general warning," while the Federal Highway Administration similarly uses yellow to communicate warning or caution on highway signage.<ref name="Yellowtown" /> A yellow [[penalty card]] in a soccer match means warning, but not expulsion.<gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:First Student 132.jpg|School bus File:Gelber Briefkasten der Deutschen Post.JPG|A mailbox in Germany.

While many flags use yellow, their symbolism varies widely, from civic virtue to golden treasure, golden fields, the desert, royalty, the keys to Heaven and the leadership of the Communist Party. In classic European [[heraldry]], yellow, along with white, is one of the two [[Tincture (heraldry)|metals]] (called gold and silver) and therefore flags following heraldic design rules must use either yellow or white to separate any of their other colors (see [[rule of tincture]]).<gallery mode="packed" heights="100px"> File:Flag of India.svg|[[Flag of India]] (1947).

The robe and its color is a sign of renunciation of the outside world and commitment to the order. The candidate monk, with his master, first appears before the monks of the monastery in his own clothes, with his new robe under his arm, and asks to enter the order. He then takes his vows, puts on the robes, and with his begging bowl, goes out to the world. Thereafter, he spends his mornings begging and his afternoons in contemplation and study, either in a forest, garden, or in the monastery.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64">Henri Arvon (1951). ''Le bouddhisme'', pp. 61–64.</ref> According to Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, the robe dye is allowed to be obtained from six kinds of substances: roots and tubers, plants, bark, leaves, flowers and fruits. The robes should also be boiled in water a long time to get the correctly sober color. Saffron and ochre, usually made with dye from the [[curcuma longa]] plant or the heartwood of the [[jackfruit]] tree, are the most common colors. The so-called forest monks usually wear ochre robes and city monks saffron, though this is not an official rule.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/robe_txt.htm|title=The Buddhanet- buddhist studies- the monastic robe|accessdate=9 October 2013}}</ref> The color of robes also varies somewhat among the different "vehicles", or schools of Buddhism, and by country, depending on their doctrines and the dyes available. The monks of the strict [[Vajrayana]], or [[Tantric Buddhism]], practiced in [[Tibet]], wear the most colorful robes of saffron and red. The monks of [[Mahayana Buddhism]], practiced mainly in Japan, China and Korea, wear lighter yellow or saffron, often with white or black. Monks of [[Hinayana Buddhism]], practiced in Southeast Asia, usually wear ochre or saffron color. Monks of the forest tradition in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia wear robes of a brownish ochre, dyed from the wood of the [[jackfruit]] tree.<ref name="Henri Arvon 1951 pg. 61–64" /><ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62">Anne Varichon (2000), ''Couleurs- pigments et teintures dans les mains des peuples'', p. 62.</ref> * In [[Hinduism]], the divinity [[Krishna]] is commonly portrayed dressed in yellow. Yellow and saffron are also the colors worn by [[sadhu]], or wandering holy men in India. The Hindu almighty and divine god Lord Ganesha or Ganpati is mostly dressed with a dhotar in yellow, which is popularly known as pivla pitambar and is considered to be the most auspicious one. * In [[Islam]], the yellow color of gold symbolizes wisdom. * In the religions of the islands of [[Polynesia]], yellow is a sacred color, the color of the divine essence; the word "yellow" in the local languages is the same as the name of the [[curcuma longa]] plant, which is considered the food of the gods.<ref name="Anne Varichon 2000 pg. 62" /> * In the [[Roman Catholic Church]], yellow symbolizes gold, and in [[Christian mythology]] the golden key to the Kingdom of Heaven, which divine Christ gave to Saint Peter. The flag of the [[Vatican City]] and the colors of the pope are yellow and white, symbolizing the gold key and the silver key. White and yellow together can also symbolize [[easter]], rebirth and Resurrection. Yellow also has a negative meaning, symbolizing betrayal; [[Judas Iscariot]] is usually portrayed wearing a pale yellow toga.

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]]. We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
