Bile is yellow (it is the only colour it comes in!). It has two principle functions 1) as a detergent, emulsifying fats, giving them a higher surface area to enhance digestion, and 2) to alkalise (to increase the pH of, make less acidic) material passed into the duodenum from the stomach which is very acidic and would be damaging to the relatively unprotected tissues downstream of the stomach.
