I would turn this argument around. 

Since the side bar is already recognisable as separate, 
colour need not be used to show that it is separate. (See [1]) 
This means we are free to use colour to show something else. 
This is an opportunity. 
What would the reason for wasting it be?

I wasn't *recommending* pale yellow. 
I was trying to be neutral with respect to hue and therefore quoted 
- Patrick's colour
- as an example. 
On kainhofer.com it is pale yellow too. 

So what/where is the current state?
