== History ==
Beckett originally started making content on YouTube in 2016. He shared a YouTube channel with his brother and they created stop motion animations and stuffed animal videos. The channel name has not been shared with anyone and the content is unlisted. After a while, the channel hit 100 subscribers. At the time, Beckett had started watching YouTube channels such as Arlo and Scott The Woz. He loved their type of content and wanted to do it himself, so he started making videos where he'd talk about video game topics and opinions. He also made a secondary channel to connect with his main channel. Here, he'd do livestreams, gameplay (no commentary), and let's play videos. 
After 2 years of creating video game content, Beckett started to stop uploading as much. Around the beginning of 2020, he became friends with someone from his school (known on YouTube as kickinItCarter) that loved basketball. Beckett started loving the sport. For a class project, his teacher tasked Beckett and his friend to make a video about a weird spin on a classic fairy tale. The boys decided to make a video about 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff.' His friend, Carter, did most of the acting, while Beckett filmed and edited the video. They finished the video but didn't have a place to save it for school. Beckett didn't want to use his video game channel for the video because he didn't want his class to find out about his other videos, so he made a new channel that was focused on basketball. Carter did the same. The video was posted on both channels. 
The two boys had so much fun making the video that they wanted to keep posting on their basketball channels. So, they both made a bunch of videos. They sometimes even posted up to 3 times a day. The videos would constantly feature both Beckett and Carter and they were both equally in each others videos. They made many types of videos such as trick shots, basketball tutorials, montages, commentary, and more. Beckett has since stated that making these videos with Carter was one of the most fun things he's done with him. 
Overall, Beckett's channel was the more popular one. One day, after months of making these videos, sometimes 3 times a day, the boys became tired of it. However, they didn't want to just stop posting on their channels because they still enjoyed basketball. So, on April 7, 2020, they decided to make second channels to go along with their basketball channels. Carter would mostly post gaming videos, but Beckett was tired of making those videos because of his former channels. He figured if he wanted to do gaming videos, he'd do it on his former channels because they were more popular. Since Beckett didn't make gaming videos on his second channel, he didn't know what to post on it. When one day, he came across a YouTuber called GetMadz. After watching a lot of his videos, Beckett fell back in love with video games (mainly Nintendo). But he still didn't feel like making gameplay videos. He loved the way that GetMadz would have an animated character talking about the video games rather than live action. So he decided he would do the same. 
Beckett changed the second channel name to YellowColorz (later changed to Yellow Colorz). He named it this way because his favorite color was yellow and it was the color of his character's shirt. There was one problem though, Beckett didn't know how to animate. So he decided to draw poses of his character then compile them into an editing software. He matched the poses with the audio and added some images of what he was talking about too. 
Beckett uploaded his first video in April. Right after he would post it, he got to work on the next one. His basketball channel was losing views, along with his other channels. But he didn't care. He knew that animation is what he wanted to do on YouTube. After a while, Beckett wanted to take his animation to the next level. So, he started practicing on Adobe Animate. He quickly got the hang of it after some tutorials. Around this time of practice, Beckett had noticed a YouTube animator by the name of Haminations on his recommended page. He had recognized the character from a while back when he saw his brother watching one of his videos. Beckett had thought when his brother was watching the videos that they had looked stupid. Beckett decided to click on the recommended video, and to his surprise, he really enjoyed it. He would keep watching the channel and he has since said that he was his biggest inspiration. 
Beckett had enjoyed the storytime type content Haminations had made and wanted to that too. He deleted his video game animations and started working on his first storytime video. He premiered this video on April 28, 2020. He kept making these videos and watched more and more YouTube animators. One day, a small YouTube animator by the name of Alfie Animations had created a video titled 'School Uniforms (They Suck)'. It popped up in his recommended feed. He loved the video and asked to make a collaboration video with him. He then uploaded the video titled 'Water Parks | Ft. @Alfie Animations.' He and Alfie started to become very good friends, and introduced him to some of his other friends such as Jack's World and Ana’s Animations. Beckett became friends with a lot more of these animators, but he's said his best animator friends consisted of Alfie Animations, Jack's World, Telemations, Pierce Toons, and Cheezymations. They called their group of friends, Da Boiz, and had a Discord Server with all of them and some fans.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VVbnGhbPGQ 
Throughout fall 2020, his channel grew at a steady rate. On October 23, 2020, Beckett uploaded an anticipated multiple-animator project (MAP) and it caused him to gain over 50 subscribers in a single day. Beckett then took a break from storytime videos. Beckett reached 1,000 subscribers in February 2021. After a 6 month hiatus from YouTube, Beckett uploaded a storytime video on August 6, 2021.
On September 28, 2021, Beckett uploaded a video announcing he was going to quit YouTube.bye — Yellow Colorz (YouTube). 28 Sep 2021 He cited that he wasn't interested in pursuing YouTube, or animation in general as a job. To add to that, he also stated he suffers from severe anxiety, and how that does not mix well with being a YouTuber. He also announced that he would be deleting his channel. Both his main and second channels were deleted one day after the video was uploaded, on September 29, 2021.
