This starts getting pretty interesting around paragraph 18, but the gist is that yellow is easy for us to identify but hard to communicate, and that we're not so great at expressing green either. The way we perceive color seems to boil down to whether our brains "discount" warm or cool colors in our perception, or so the theory goes.
