Hello Peter Leroy

I think yellow ist the color of danger, and perhaps it goes back to that
time. Yellow means: Be carefull. You can't trust this man/woman.

I think some insects that are dangerous have the same colors: bees. I have
been told we have it from the insect world.

In hospitals they often use yellow marks with black triangle to show a blood
test can be infected with decease, wich can be contagious. Warnings against
computervirus can have the same mark: yellow and black.

Jews were wearing yellow David stars as a mark under the 2. world war.

I think I have read somewere, that also huguenots, who had been recatholiced
during force and pressure were wearing coats with a yellow cross on their
back. Sorry I can't remember were I read it.
