Note
A regular superlative, formed by adding -est to yellow with no change of spelling. Most yellow means the same and can stand in its place. The form follows every sense of its base, not only the color. The yellowest coward uses the informal 'lacking courage' sense, and the yellowest newspaper uses the sensationalist one. The offensive ethnic senses carry over as well, so only context tells you which yellow is being raised to its highest degree.
