---Little History Lesson---

At the time of the Seven Years War, when Maria Theresia was Arc Duchess of Austria and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, stage coaches who delivered letters and packages were the only Austrian vehicles able to travel through Prussia without getting attacked by the Prussian Army.

However, due to their "inconspicuous" color scheme, they were often mistaken for coaches that tried to smuggle spies into the land and so they were attacked regardless and many letters were destroyed or heavily damaged.

Thinking about how to solve the problem, Austria and Prussia thought about giving them a color that clearly identified them as mail delivering coaches. Because both parties couldn't agree on a color, a Swiss mercenary serving at the Viennese court at that time suggested to just paint them yellow.

And so yellow they were painted.
