And in some cultures, yellow signifies death or cowardice.

It's almost impossible to completely disambiguate cultural cues for something
the size and spread of Wikipedia, except possible on a wiki by wiki basis; I
mentioned it only for completeness.

That said, the original complainer's original complaint was that the yellow
in question *was not changed* to complement the chosen blue, in his estimation.
