Yellow cheddar probably also has annatto colouring. Cheese can be naturally orange in the summer, but for a long time it has been more frequently obtained by colouring.

Yeah, annatto is a traditional cheese dye, but outside of the US cheddar doesn’t often have much annatto if any, so it’s not usually died orange. Here’s a video of someone making a marbled cheddar cheese where one part has annatto and the other doesn’t, so you can easily see the difference in the final product.

Murican here. Our food needs to be color coded or we get confused.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I had an X-ray and some ibuprofen at an ER two years ago, and if I miss another payment they’ll put out a warrant for my arrest - off to my side hustle! (top and/or bottom hustle still available, if anyone’s hiring!)
