One can purchase vests/jackets/etc. in yellow, however for greater visibility, if that is your goal, opt for a chartreuse colored vest/jacket instead.
Chartreuse comes in either a lime green or a yellow and in between those two, which essentially is what we today call neon lime green or neon yellow.
