Why is it called Yellow Card?
When the American Contract Bridge League originally manufactured their form
for the Standard American conventions, they chose the
color yellow to
easily distinguish that convention card from the normal one (white).
In ACBL Duplicate events like "Individual Tournaments" where players change
partners each round, all players are provided the
Standard American Yellow Card --
and the original was definitely yellow! Here's a
non-colored Yellow Card for
you to print out if you like. The ACBL has original at:

If for some reason you wanted to buy a package of the Yellow Card,
it's available at:
