The many nuances of eggs.

Presumably, we're all happy with "egg whites" as a description. So why aren't yolks called egg yellows?

Some yolks are more orange than yellow. Some are a sad washed out yellow. Probably other colours out there too.

@JamesBugman That's interesting. Thanks for your commentary.

@JamesBugman The color of the yellow part of an egg depends on what the chicken are fed. Tyson and others feed chickens dried Marigold flowers to deepen the color so eggs "look" more healthy and natural.
