yellowness
Banana peel shade
Yellowness is the quality of being yellow—the state of having that color.
The word extends to anything associated with yellow: the yellowness of autumn leaves, of jaundice, of old paper.
Figuratively, yellowness can suggest cowardice, from the slang sense of yellow meaning afraid: His yellowness showed when he backed down from the fight.
