=== Politics === [[File:ManifGiletsJaunesVesoul 17nov2018 (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Yellow vests" protest in France, November 2018]] * Yellow as a [[political colour|political color]] is most commonly associated with [[liberalism]], [[libertarianism]] and [[anarcho-capitalism]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/colordesignworkb0000ston/page/86|title=Color Design Workbook: A Real World Guide to Using Color in Graphic Design|last1=Adams|first1=Sean|last2=Morioka|first2=Noreen|last3=Stone|first3=Terry Lee|date=2006|publisher=Rockport Publishers|isbn=159253192X|location=Gloucester, Mass.|pages=[https://archive.org/details/colordesignworkb0000ston/page/86 86]|oclc=60393965}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Kumar|first1=Rohit Vishal|last2=Joshi|first2=Radhika|date=October–December 2006|title=Colour, Colour Everywhere: In Marketing Too|journal=SCMS Journal of Indian Management|volume=3|issue=4|pages=40–46|issn=0973-3167|ssrn=969272}}</ref> Contemporary political parties using yellow include the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] and [[UKIP]] in the United Kingdom, the [[Scottish National Party|SNP]] in Scotland, [[ACT New Zealand|ACT]] in New Zealand, and [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]] in the United States. * In the United States, a [[yellow dog Democrat]] was a [[U.S. Southern states|Southern]] voter who consistently voted for [[United States Democratic Party|Democratic]] candidates in the late 19th and early 20th centuries because of lingering resentment against the [[United States Republican Party|Republicans]] dating back to the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] and [[Reconstruction era of the United States|Reconstruction]] period. Today the term refers to a hard-core Democrat, supposedly referring to a person who would vote for a "yellow dog" before voting for a Republican. * In China the [[Yellow Turbans]] were a [[Daoist]] sect that staged an extensive [[rebellion]] during the [[Han dynasty]]. * The 1986 [[People Power Revolution]] in the [[Philippines]] was also known as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during the demonstrations. Liberal and pro-democracy political parties and organizations such as [[United Nationalist Democratic Organization|UNIDO]], [[PDP–Laban|PDP-Laban]], and the [[Liberal Party (Philippines)|Liberal Party]] have used the color yellow. More recently, it has become a pejorative term used by some pro-Ferdinand Marcos and pro-Rodrigo Duterte against the opposition. * In France in November and December 2018, an opposition movement called the [[Yellow vests movement|Yellow Vests]] went into the streets to protest against the fiscal policies of President [[Emmanuel Macron]]. They wore yellow safety vests, which French motorists are required by law to have in their cars.<ref>Essay on Yellow by Michel Pastoureau, ''Liberation'', 5 December 2008</ref>
