Yellow screens are bright and warm, useful as a cheerful ambient light, a low-blue reading light in the evening, or an attention-grabbing background for signage and photos. A full yellow field drives the red and green sub-pixels at once, so any pixel that stays dark or blue-tinted stands out immediately.
As a test pattern, a flat dark khaki field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red and green sub-pixels.
