What does the color yellow indicate in stress levels?

• A. Highly Stressed
• B. Relaxed But Alert
• C. Normal Stress Levels
• D. Extremely Relaxed

Answer: (B)

Yellow signals a moderate arousal level: you’re awake, focused, and ready to respond, but you’re not overwhelmed. This Relaxed But Alert state sits in that sweet spot where you can think clearly and act quickly without the anxiety of high stress. If someone were highly stressed, the state would feel tense and panicked rather than calm and ready. If at normal stress levels, you’re at a baseline without the distinct edge of alertness the yellow cue implies. And if you were extremely relaxed, your arousal would be too low to stay actively engaged.
