*Throughout history the color has been used to mark out “traitors”— in France the doors of traitor's were painted yellow and during the Spanish inquisition the victims wore yellow robes to signify that they were guilty of heresy and treason.
Yellow is considered a color of ambivalence and contradiction. It is associated with optimism and amusement, but also with betrayal, duplicity, and jealousy.
