That's what color they are in the "visible" spectrum, I wonder what they look like if you added in the ultraviolet spectrum that bees and other insects can see

Might just be the exposure of this photo, in my experience brassica flowers are almost always bright bold yellow.

Well, we can't really picture a color outside the visible spectrum. Just try to imagine a color you've never seen...

Point being they might have wonderful patterns or be beautifully vibrant in the UV spectrum, but those pigments don't look like anything beyond a sickly yellow if all you can see is the human visible light spectrum
