German professor Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), one of the founders of what is referred to as "scientific racism", devised the 5-color racial typology for humankind (e.g., black people, white people). From this source came the category of yellow or Mongoloid race, in which Oriental Asians are placed. More can be learned at this Wiki:

For the same reason White people are called White, Black people are called Black, Native Americans are called Red, and the Asians are called Yellow.
None of these are actually these colours.
