Color (again!)


The color yellow is splendid. Its vibrant and invigorating. Noticable and bright. It is everywhere in our lives and constantly seen. The oldest known usage of the color yellow is in the poem Beowulf. Its compliment is purple. Several animals have the color yellow in their names. It is used as many terms, including yellow journalism and racial slurs.

I enjoy the color yellow greatly. My bike is yellow. I have many sweatshirts and other articles of clothing that are yellow. Its a happy color that makes me smile when i see it. Bananas are delicious, they are yellow as well. A study done by the University of Chicago stated that yellow is the easiest color seen from a distance, thus leading to the paitning of taxis, a tradition to this day. School buses are also yellow, so they can be seen, occuring in less accidents keepng are kids safe. In sports a yellow flag or card is given in the event of a penalty.

Coldplay sung about the color yellow in a song. the leader of bike races wears a yellow jersey, a tradition started by the Tour de France. Pencils are traditionally yellow. The planet Saturn has a yelow color to it. Stop ligths have yellow as a warning of a red light. In some aspects of our lives, yellow is a good happy color and in other parts of our lives it is a warning. The color yellow is fantastic.
