G'Day, Yellow kayak wouldn't really work in this neck of the woods. Just about every second hire kayak is yellow. I make sure my kayak name 'Rebyl' is written boldly on the boat. On trips when I'm taking out a group we list the kayak descriptions and names, car registration numbers and parking locations and give the list with the trip plan to a contact on land or to the water police or coastguard. So if anything did go wrong missing people/boats can be identified. I've been in one situation (not as a trip leader), where this turned out to be really useful. When I'm in the Klepper foldable people call me 'UBoat' for some reason. Apparently on the water it looks like a UBoat about to surface.
