Carriage Yellow

Carriage

A carriage is a two- or four-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle for passengers. Coaches are a special category within carriages; they are enclosed carriages with four corner posts and a fixed roof. From the early modern period until the rise of railways and motor vehicles, carriages were a principal means of road transport, with models ranging from simple vehicles to elaborate ceremonial coaches used by royalty. Although largely replaced by mechanized transport, carriages remain in use for ceremonial occasions, tourism, equestrian sport, and in some communities as everyday transport. Modern carriages have been redesigned and manufactured for sports such as combined driving and for tourist transport.

Yellow

Yellow is a color between green and orange on the spectrum of light. It is evoked by light with a dominant wavelength of roughly 575–585 nm. It is a primary color in subtractive color systems, used in painting or color printing. In the RGB color model, used to create colors on television and computer screens, yellow is a secondary color made by combining red and green at equal intensity. Carotenoids give the characteristic yellow color to autumn leaves, corn, canaries, daffodils, and lemons, as well as egg yolks, buttercups, and bananas. They absorb light energy and protect plants from photo damage in some cases. Sunlight has a slight yellowish hue when the Sun is near the horizon, due to atmospheric scattering of shorter wavelengths.
