I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for yellow that I've seen before include "Name of river" , "Rainbow colour between orange and green" , "Part of egg" , "likely to run" , "Custard-coloured" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
