response: I also read that it was used on a painting in a cave in France that is over 17000 years old!  It was the color of a horse!
history: how do I eradicate the color yellow from existence?? i hate it! I am not sure if that is posible. But speaking of yellow, did you know that it is actually used to create other colors in the RGB model? I had no idea about it. I wonder how yellow has been used throughout history Well, I know that gold  and skin color was represented using orpiment and ochre pigments in Egyptian tombs I knew yellow was creepy! I bet it represents all sorts of depressing stuff for cultures all over the world!
knowledge: Because it was widely available, yellow ochre pigment was one of the first colors used in art; the Lascaux cave in France has a painting of a yellow horse 17,000 years old.
