Actually, it has to do with common conception. You say "yellow brown" but I'm sure most people will thinking of a lion with a "golden" mane, though it's honestly more of a sand shade. There ARE other fur colors for them, but 99% of the population is going to think some form of yellow. Same for tigers, most people are going to think orange or white. Wolves are tricky and would likely require the full name, not just a single part, as there are grey, white, black, brown, and several other colors. Yes, a lot of OC names are going to end up being cheesy, but hey, that's how OC names have been for the past several decades, long before the internet was even a thing.
