They're Chinese?  No, I think 'cause it's a "happy" color . . .yeah, happy. . .that's it.  Smilies are smiling, which means they're happy, so they're in a happy color!

It does?  like police tape!  That's yellow . . .but I DO think it's happy because yellow houses sell better and selling houses makes you happy!

lol... i never thought of that, interesting thought!
"i'm willing to do anything
to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"

I had jaundice when I was a baby.
...but anyway...

Maybe they're all relatives of the Wal-Mart Smilie.
In any event, none compare to the grin from the VCMB.  :lol:

The modern smilie is a descendant of the "Have A Nice Day" logo that first appeared in the 1970s.  The colour yellow represents the sun, the almost universal symbol for "day". :D
