Y'know, since I thought yellow was used for lesbians in America, or at least for one of the types. However, when I checked to see if there was anything of relevance between yellow and lesbians, I found a whole lotta nothin'. So, I thought I'd try to sate my curiosity by bringing up the subject here, as it relates to lesbianism specifically rather than sexuality and gender in general (because I know what's used to represent that).

All I know is that in Japan yuri can be translated as lily so maybe there are some colours that associated with that but I'm drawing a blank. It'd definitely be something interesting to look at. Considering the fact that there are studies done about the most inane of things there's probably something on this it just won't be easy to find. There may even be no correlation at all but judging human behaviour we are constantly making comparisons and logging information and their relationships with each other so that's probably unlikely.
If it was me I'd go for the colour orange, at least that's the colour I've associated with it.

I also learned about a interesting custom called the hanky code...

Lesbians have over time claimed the black triangle as a symbol of defiance against repression and discrimination, and it is considered a counterpart to the gay pink triangle. Though lesbian sex was not criminal under Paragraph 175, lesbians were regarded as asocial for their failure to adhere to the Aryan ideal of womanhood, a wife dedicated to "Kinder, Küche, und Kirche" ("children, kitchen, and church"). Lesbians in Germany and the United States began reclaiming the black triangle as a pride symbol in the 1980s. Like the more ubiquitous pink triangle, the black triangle stands as a memorial to victims of oppression and a sign of commitment to the struggle for dignity and human rights.
