I suspect this is one of those cases where the common language obscures the fact. It doesn't look particularly yellow to me, but 'yellow light' is the term everyone uses for it, so.

(At first I was afraid this poll would require that I remember the placement of the colors on the traffic light. Which I probably could do, but would not be confident of...)

See, down here, I'm fairly sure "amber light" is what everyone calls it...

(So far the only responses apart from mine are by Americans. Once some Brits or other Aussies start answering, we'll see.)
