Sure, like shouldn't we try all the colors?
What if yellow cures everyone?

Don't think Amazon hasn't tried every shade of orange that's plausibly on-brand.

The answer is obvious - Rainbow color scheme.
Everything is cured and everyone is happy.

Yellow is garbage. Nothing good ever came of yellow. If anything is going to cure, it's indigo.

Yeah, I remember noticing Google doing A/B tests on the color of links. A/B test everything! Few may die-- more may live in the long run. (If that's what you're trying to optimize.)

If there is a better color then it's guaranteed to save lives in the long run.

The "famously" tested 41 shades of blue in the 2000's, again a couple of years ago[0] and I am sure they test this again some times to times.

McDonalds famously uses yellow to get people to eat and leave in a hurry.
Lavender and violet are universally calming in humans. I don’t have the links handy, but color psychology doesn’t vary much by individuals, it’s something somewhat hard wired.
But how do we know a different color might not save lives? Only half joking.
