MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are most highlighters yellow?

If you work in an office doing paperwork you’ve probably used a highlighter at some point today. And it was most likely bright yellow. Why is yellow the go-to color for highlighters?

The reason actually makes a lot of sense. When testing out colors that shade of bright yellow was the only one that didn’t cause a big shadow when making a photo copy.

Happy highlighting.
