What people use a light goldenrod yellow screen for
Because Light Goldenrod Yellow is so light, a light goldenrod yellow screen doubles as a soft light source: prop a phone or tablet beside you as fill light on a video call, use it as a gentle reading light, or as a backlit surface for tracing.
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 light goldenrod yellow field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red, green and blue sub-pixels.
