I think maybe one reason they were originally yellow might be because, no matter what color ink you are using your print shows up best on yellow.

They are not. Please use the following link to their official products page, you can see just a few of the colors that they come in:

Oftentimes, the standard yellow is what office supply dealers sell in bulk for the best deal. Therefore, that is why you often see the yellow ones in offices.
It is interesting to note, that the traditional canary yellow color of the post-it notes are a trademark of the 3M company.

They're not always yellow. They make all different colors. I guess they used to always be yellow because yellow as an easier color to make paper,and it was their original color.

the reason they started in yellow was because that was what they had extra to begin with.
now they come in various shapes and size as well as colors.
I have neon pink, green, orange, yellow and purple
can't wait until they come in black.
