Its to make reading easy, I read somewhere or it was a lecture at university about the yellow helping dyslexic people read better.

interesting judders, off hand was this any sort of 'usability' seminar, or just a class among classes?
no question it is glaring in it's readability, it is pretty stiff.
my color blindness simulator definitly makes it seem like it is need though. thanks for the info.

It was to do with usability, it was more to do with using a yellow tint rather than white for background colour, but this is something which I have not researched further so I can not be sure of how true the suggestion was.
I looked at the BBC text only again and I think that yellow is more to do with colour blindness as you pointed out I think.

Black on white strains the eyes and is generally not a good idea, yellow on black is far more readable, next to white on black it is the most contrasting colour combo
