I guess COLOR_YELLOW is a relative thing, i.e., it depends on the term's
current color scheme in my testing.

With rxvt (with a beige/khaki background), I do see yellow.

With xfce4-terminal (with amber/orange foreground on black background,
i.e., my default from days of amber monochrome displays ;), the "yellow"
comes out as a faded/washed out/dim orange. But still readable.

Anyway, this looks useful to me.
