Andrew Green, Steyning UK • Plastic ducks are always depicted as baby ducks (ducklings) and these, in their natural state, tend to be either yellow or a light fawn colour. So yellow seems to be an obvious colour to choose. Jack Hill, St Albans UK • I got a black one with a purple beak for Christmas. Jake Sanmartin, Amsterdam Netherlands • It makes them easier to see in the bath. Possibly, duck-makers got the idea from emergency sea-rescue equipment – which is also quite often, yellow.
