    Switch OLED dock LED: what colour?

    I was playing with my OLED Switch, connected to the TV as usual through its dock, while image and sounds went out. I immediately noticed the LED on the dock was a solid yellow, and once unplugged from the dock, the Switch was fully functional.

    I unplugged everything from the dock and the PSU from the outlet, waited a few minutes, reconnected everything, and the Switch connected to the monitor, but with a yellow light on the dock.
    As I had a second OLED Switch around, still unused, I tried the second dock: everything connected, but with a yellow light. I tried the second Switch with the first dock, connected with yellow light. Secon Switch with second dock, connected with yellow light.
    I tried using the second PSU, with the same results.

    I dug out the OG Switch dock, and the LED is solid green.

    As I used a rather complex HDMI chain (console -> RT4K -> amplifier -> monitor), I tried connecting the Switch directly to the amplifier, and connected with yellow light.

    Now I think I'm going crazy as I remember the light on the dock being green with everything working correctly, but even an unused Switch shows a yellow light, so I suspect some problem in the HDMI handshake or something, though everything seems to work as before.
    A quick search brings up flashing yellow LEDs, but not solid yellow, and Nintendo's FAQ doesn't mention solid yellow.

    Everything seems to work fine for now.

    So...which colour is the LED on an OLED dock when everything is working properly?
