News channel makes a jarring design choice

I fell asleep watching the Willful War Show over the weekend, then woke up after midnight and saw this on-screen.

MS NOW (nee MSNBC) is so ashamed of the Iran bombing that they have swapped out the patriotic red / white / blue color palette and replaced it with yellow, universal color of cowardice.

That’s what I thought at first anyway. A few moments later I saw that the MS NOW logo flipped to a Sky News logo. Sky News, UK company. Does yellow have the same connotations overseas?

I suppose they might be suggesting “use caution” like a traffic light. “Whoa,” Sky News says. “We thought Trump was just running his mouth. Use caution.”
