Why is it masculine?
Giallo is masculine because it ends in "-o", which is the standard masculine singular ending for Italian adjectives and nouns. The word derives from Latin "flavus" (meaning yellow), and like most Italian color adjectives ending in "-o", it is masculine by default in Italian. This is a productive modern rule rather than an exception: color words ending in "-o" are regularly masculine in Italian.
