yellow
A medium yellow facade color and one of the subtractive primary colors, represented by hex triplet FFFF00.
Yellow is the lightest of the most basic colors, not including white. Along with cyan and magenta, it is one of the three subtractive primary colors. It is approximately the color of lemons or bananas. Because of its attention-attracting qualities, yellow is not a common facade color in many areas, although it is sometimes used for painted surfaces.
Hex triplet: FFFF00
This medium shade is distinct from pale cream and the darker gold shade within the yellow family. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
