The Chinese character 黄色 (huáng sè) for "yellow" is composed of two parts: 黄 (huáng) and 色 (sè). The character 黄 originally meant "bright" or "shining", and was often used to describe the color of gold. It is composed of the radical 日 (rì) for "sun" and the phonetic component 皇 (huáng), which is a variant of the character 皇 (huáng) meaning "emperor". The character 色 (sè) originally meant "face" or "complexion", and was often used to describe the color of a person's skin. It is composed of the radical 肉 (ròu) for "meat" and the phonetic component 色 (sè), which is a variant of the character 色 (sè) meaning "color". When combined, the characters 黄 and 色 form the compound word 黄色 (huáng sè), which means "yellow".
