There are hundreds of emojis to express the language of the mind. But have you noticed, why is the color of emoji yellow? WhatsApp has more than 800 emojis, which are used for different emotions. But why the color of most emojis is kept yellow. Although Meta now allows you to choose colors. Let's find out what is the reason for using yellow color emoji.

Do you know what? Last July 17 was Emoji Day. The little face emoji we use today was created by Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita. That too in 1999. However, the first emoji or emoticon was used by The New York Times. When they misprinted a transcribed copy of President Abraham Lincoln's speech.

Then on March 30, 1881, the first deliberate use of emoticons was the American satirical magazine Puck. In 2010, emoji expanded, adding new ones like cat faces. In 2014, 198 country flags were added to the list of emojis. The Oxford Dictionaries word of the year for 2015 was emoji. Now let's know why emoji color is yellow.


While there is no exact answer for smileys and emojis turning yellow, various reasons have been given. Many people think that the color of emoji is yellow, because the color yellow represents peace of mind and it is the only color that our eyes can see clearly, so the color of emoji is yellow. Also remember that the color yellow matches the color of human skin, so smileys and emojis are yellow in color.

Swift Media conducted a study on emojis and smileys, after which many reasons behind the use of these colors came out. It said that the color of the emoji is made to match the color of the skin. Because most of the emojis express emotions, smiling and happy faces are given yellow face pictures. The color of the sticker and balloon icon is also yellow, which symbolizes happiness. It has also been argued that a smiling face looks better on a yellow background so this color is used.
