yellow（黄）加后缀 -ish 表示“有点……”，所以 yellowish 就是“微黄的”，像照片加了淡黄滤镜。
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常描述颜色、一般写作与口语 yellowish 是日常中性词，通常表示“微黄的、带黄色的”，在口语和一般书面语中都比较常见；在更正式或科技语境中较少单独使用，往往需要更精确的颜色描述。
yellow 与 yellowish 的前两个音节读音相同，都是 /ˈjɛloʊ/。其余几个 -ish 颜色形容词只拼写相似：它们都以 -ish 结尾、读作 /ɪʃ/，但重读音节不同，所以并不与 yellowish /ˈjɛloʊɪʃ/ 押韵。没有常见词与 yellowish 完全押韵。
