Have you ever wondered why most pencils are the remote and unchanged color of yellow? Well, not only does yellow stimulate mental process and activate the memory, but also because back in the 1800's, the best graphite in the world came from China. During the 1890's, American pencil makers wanted to have their own special way of letting the world know that their pencils contained the finest Chinese graphite, so, in honor of China, they made their pencils yellow. Yellow is the color of loyalty and respect in China, so they were very pleased with this gesture.
