I think it goes something like this, though:

'Pookies' are Yellow, because Yellow is the closest penguin color to skin colors. If you've ever noticed that an adopting 'Mumu' will say 'Tanned Model Leg Pops Out', they mean that they are close to or actually pretending to be humans.

That is my belief on why 'Pookies' are Yellow. Peach could also work if you're imitating a human skin tone. Or brown. I think I agree more with Locy8's pookie color idea though. I'm not sure why pookies dont switch to arctic white now? Its penguin accurate because baby penguins are fluffy and white on most of their body. Yellow made sense back then because it was the lightest colour as well as the one you associate with happy, sunshine and rather cuteness, probably why they still use it. I dunno. I agree with you. But when I tried to use Arctic White when pookie-roleplaying, the bratty pookies and mumus screamed at me "POOKIES ARE YELLOW!" ya idk why they do that :P I am not picky at all. In fact, about a quarter of the pookies I've had weren't yellow. I had some pink, blue, and even black colored pookies!
