A number of these color swatches do not look like yellow on my monitor. 69.124.56.44 23:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Since yellow has an intrinsically higher value (it looks lighter if photographed in black and white) than a color like blue or indigo, it varies more when it is mixed with other colors. If you mix yellow with gray, you will find that you will get olive. If you mix yellow with dark gray, you get a color like raw umber. If you mix yellow with light gray, you get a color like khaki. There is a lot more variation in yellow than other colors because it is such a light color, so some of the colors which are shades of yellow do not look that much like a shade of yellow but they really are. If you would have ever done actual mixing of paints (as I have done) instead of just working with colors on the computer, you would know this. That, then, is why I added those colors that do not seem that yellow to you (but they really are) to the Shades of yellow color comparison chart when I created it. Keraunos 10:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
It has been suggested that Category:Shades of orange be moved to either Category:Variations of orange or Category:Varieties of orange. Where this move to go through all Shades of ... categories and their associated templates should also be moved. The discussion is here. J i m p 02:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
