What does a yellow colored goods tab mean?

It's my first time playing through this game, and I've noticed that in one of my cities, along the bottom of the city screen, where the city's stores are shown, the tab for tobacco is colored yellow.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the number of tobacco itself, I mean the whole rectangular tab is yellow.

What does that mean?

It means it's emphasized. You can emphasize/deemphasize/neutralize from the Settlement screen clicking the Governor tab (where the import/exports are). All productions are set to Neutral by default but you can accelerate or decrease the speed it is producing from there. Emphasized productions increase their amount with some percent overtime (don't know exactly with how many).

Thanks! I don't remember setting tobacco as an emphasized commodity, but I guess I must have. Thank you for the answer!

Hi old_benn and welcome

Yep, it's way too easy to accidentally click on a commodity if the Governor tab is active..

Come to think of it.. is this related to automated production (which I never use) or is it related to trade-routes - do you know?

I never thought it could of be from automated production or profession, in my experience it's caused by fast clicking.

When I click twice on the settlement to enter the Settlement screen, especially if I played with the Import/Exports before I always accidentally click somewhere on the on the emphasize screen.

Though I never use it..

Obviously

What I meant was: What does emphasizing tobacco in a city do? Seems pretty logical that it causes the governor to put a lot of tobacco planters in the fields if they're automated, but does it also affect fully automated wagon trains - what they pick up etc.?
