In the Genetic Learning (GL) context
GL interface specifications can state the exact yellow value and pair colour with text, while HBDNF claims require separate evidence. Golden, lemon-coloured and saffron-coloured describe related shades, cowardly, craven and gutless match the disapproving figurative sense, sensational applies to journalism, and turn yellow corresponds to the intransitive verb. Professional writing should distinguish colour, material ageing and figurative usage, and avoid offensive racial applications.
