I created a "JustSynonyms" field type that is configured to use the WhiteSpaceTokenizer and the SynonymFilterFactory.
I think I might have cracked it: In my synonyms.txt I now have: Yellow, Buttermilk, Mustard, Pineapple, Straw, Sunshine Red, Cranberry, Crimson, Dark Red, Strawberry, Scarlet ... Without using the "=>" symbol and setting "expand = true" on the SynonymFilter I now get buttermilk, mustard etc. when I search on "Yellow".
