yellow
黄 centers on the color yellow, the hue of earth, gold, and autumn leaves.
黄 is a pictograph of an ornament or jade pendant, later used for the color yellow. The modern form retains a symmetrical shape with a central 田-like element and spreading legs.
The shape resembles a field 田 with legs ハ, like golden wheat stalks spreading in a yellow field.
For コウ, imagine a yellow coat hanging in a field: coat -> コウ, and its bright yellow color stands out.
