Yellow is my favourite colour.  What about you?
My favorite color is red. Why do you like yellow so much?
It is just everywhere.  The bright sun, beautiful flowers like daffodils, buttercups, in food like corn, birds like carnaries. I think it just makes me smile.  Why do you pick red?
I like red because its's the color of my blood. How is the color yellow used in art?
It was used in art even thousands of years ago.  The Lascaux cave in France has a painting of a yellow horse which is 17000 years old.  They used orchre pigment because it was so widely available then.
Wow, so it goes way back. How else does the color yellow relate to history?
Well in Egyptian tombs it was widely used to represent gold and skin color.  They again used orchre pigment and something called orpiment pigment.
