A big bright yellow school bus, used throughout the USA for the transporting of the children. This was taken in the Florida Keys.

In the United States, the color of most school buses is not a pure yellow (like the color of lemons). It's not the same color as an orange either. The color of a school bus is yellow-orange. This color is a mixture of lemon yellow and orange ... like the color of the fruit of a mango.

So why do we still refer to a school bus as yellow? Back in the 1930’s in the U.S., school buses were pure yellow. Thus, the term "school bus yellow" came into the English language.

Yellow (and the yellow family of colors) gets your attention faster than any other color. People notice yellow objects first.
