Coffee Mugs™

The best graphite in the 1800s came from China.  This was a selling point for American pencil manufacturers, so the decision was made to paint their pencils the color associated with Chinese royalty: yellow, and use it 'advertise' their high-end graphite.  It is ubiquitous today.
--but what was once seen as fit for a monarch has now become commonplace.

Ha-ha.
