Why are pencils yellow?

During the 1800s, the best graphite in the world came from China. American pencil makers wanted a special way to tell people that their pencils contained Chinese graphite.

What colors make the color bone?

If you mean ivory, or literal bone color, you can do this in multiple ways to create a 'bone' effect: Digital: Using SAI or photoshop, on the color wheel (suggested) use a really really light/pale yellow-get as close as you can to white while still showing a hint of yellow. Traditional: If you're using paint, mix a small bit of yellow into a lot of white. When using pencil, just use a fleshy, pale yellow-like a vampire, or that emo kid at school's skin kinda yellow :) These apply to most traditional forms of art... So basically, yellow and white :)
