Also called: Yellowish spot · Bilious dot

Where on the hand: On any line or mount; Benham lists it among the four dot colours without confining it to a placement.

What it looks like: A small round spot with a yellowish cast against the palm.

Listed by Benham among the dot colours — “Dots may be red, blue, white, or yellow” — with the hue indicating the type of disturbance. Yellow is read generally as bilious or liver-related.

Western reading: Benham's list of dot colours — red, blue, white, yellow — is the source; the bilious/liver association is the standing reading of yellow in the colour system.

Read with care: Yellow palm colouring has ordinary physiological causes and is not evidence of liver disease. The traditional bilious reading is folklore, not diagnosis.
