I have been noticing in a lot of vendor pictures lately that they label green or green tipped corals yellow??? To me yellow would be like the fiji yellow toadstool or the yellow porites....a true banana yellow.
I thought at first it was my monitor, checked that and its displaying colors correctly.
Is the word yellow used to describe more of the highlighter greens that we see? Is it a marketing thing because yellow is more of a rare color? even though in the pictures it is definitely green.
Thought this was pretty odd to me
 
Well in the past month or so I bought a yellow wellso and a yellow maze brain, labeled as such and both are neon green!!! the trachy in my pic. is yellow. I bought a pagoda cup that was yellow tang yellow but it turned green on me. BUMMER!!!
 
Maybe the person doing the listing is color blind?
