where this color comes from

The German flag is black, red and gold: in German it is “Schwarz-Rot-Gold”, not yellow. In Color Guesser, that gold bottom stripe is the one to guess: #FFCC00 in the game's drawing, taken from the open-source flag-icons library. It's the shade of the drawing used in the game, not an official color.

This golden yellow is light and highly saturated, slightly orangey. In the game, it has exactly the same code as McDonald's yellow (#FFCC00, a ΔE gap of 0). It is close to the yellow of the Spanish flag (#F1BF00, ΔE of 3.3), which is a little darker. Because of the word “gold”, many players choose a color that is too brown or too orange, like metal. On screen, it is a vivid yellow. In the big square, aim for yellow, shift it just barely toward orange and keep it very light.
