What was yellow called in ancient times?

In ancient times, when things failed or the plan could not be realized, the word "failure" could be used to express it. The use of this word does not specifically refer to "yellow", but a broader expression, encountering setbacks, failures or unexpected endings. In ancient literature and historical records, we can find many examples of using "defeat" to describe the results of major events such as war and political conflict. "Failure" is a common and specific term, which describes that something fails to successfully complete or achieve its goal.
