Default Yellow torque convertor?

I bought a car already built. It has a yellow torque convertor that I am trying to identify. Anyone know who makes yellow convertors?

I thought TCI made yellow stuff. I know Vig is pink, and Yanks come in either black or red right? So it's not those.

TCI's are black.
Vigs are Pink (paint changes if the converter overheats)
Yanks are Red
FUddle are light blue
Hughes are red
B&M are blue?
Pro-torque are silver?

I was told by the shop that built the car that there were some level 10 parts in it but level 10 convertors appear to be black.

Some OE converters are painted various colors. I once recieved a TBSS converter that was mint green directly from GM (for R&D work). I thought it was odd, since GM typically leaves them unpainted. I have seen some yellow converter, but from other makes.

The follwoing is pretty accurate.
