But why yellow?

The Taliban wants Hindus to wear a piece of yellow cloth.

But why yellow ?

The closest I have come is this one below.
 
from - http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/030.qmt.html#030.051

030.051 YUSUFALI: And if We (but) send a Wind from which they see
(their  tilth) turn  yellow,-  behold,  they become,  thereafter,
Ungrateful (Unbelievers)!

030.051  PICKTHAL: And  if  We sent  a wind  and  they beheld  it
yellow, they verily would still continue in their disbelief.

030.051  SHAKIR:  And if  We send  a wind  and they  see it to be
yellow, they would after that certainly continue to disbelieve.
