Nobody has a light yellow colour. It was chosen so as to not to refer to any ethnicity in particular.

BTW. If your skin actually has turned yellow then you should seek the nearest hospital emergency room ASAP, because it can be a sign of acute liver failure.

Like another commenter said in a sibling thread, yellow is still a non-dark color, and yellow characters represent white people in cartoons like The Simpsons.
