That's interesting. I've never read anything about Sumatra and had never heard about the Minanagkabaus.

Why yellow? Is it a lucky color?

Well, the group is a bit unknown if you haven't heard of it before (even if they claim to be the world's largest matrilineal group).

As for yellow, it is the color of royalty in South East Asia and it has been for hundreds of years. The kings of Thailand often use yellow and during the Bangkok conflicts after the fall of Thaksin (which are still going on. Check Google!), the royalists often wear the color yellow or wave yellow flags to show which side they're on (hence the term 'yellow shirts' and 'red shirts' and 'pink shirts' and so on...)

It is also the color of royalty in Malaysia and Sumatra, and the palaces and clothes of the royal families are often bedecked in either yellow or gold thread. It's also a signifier of being in service to the king; "kuning bedaulat, payung negara" (yellow hails/is sovereign, the umbrella of the nation). As for us, it just means wearing yellow during significant occasions and doing strange stuff. XD
