yellowest

Sunniest in hue

Yellowest is the superlative form of yellow—the most yellow among things compared: the yellowest banana in the bunch, the yellowest shade on the paint chart.

It can also intensify figurative senses: the yellowest journalism (most sensationalized), the yellowest coward (most craven).
