The majority of pencils in the United States are painted yellow. This tradition is believed to have existed in 1890, when the L & C Hardtmuth Company of Austria-Hungary introduced their Koh-I-Noor brand, named after the famous diamond. They intended the pencil to be the world's best and most costly pencil. However, other businesses have started to copy the yellow color in order to ensure that their pencils would be associated with the high-quality brand.
