Should be easy, Philip.  That's the color I ended up with when I tried to
mix a mustard yellow to match my boat (did I mention I'm color blind?).

One of the most visible kayaks I've seen was a Nordkapp that was
yellow and red striped on the deck and yellow on the hull.   The
stripes were quite wide  It made it look like some kind of weird
rescue boat.  Surely the work of a truely crazed Brit boat affecionado.
