I don't think that plain yellow has been allowed for many years. Everything is green/yellow. Plain yellow is one phase of a three-phase supply in Britain and some other countries. So is red, which used to be 'earth' in Austria and Netherlands. So is blue, which is the neutral in single-phase flexibles. It's all being changed, too. The three phases will be different shades of black, I believe.
