The answer

It is true that the majority of exegetes hold that the cow (al-baqarah) referred to means the yellow color, and this is the correct view. The questioner's objection that he has not seen, heard, or read about this is incorrect, for denying having heard or read about it indicates a deficiency in research. The yellow color has varying degrees. Al-Raghib said: "Yellow (al-ṣufrah) is a color between black and white, and it is closer to black." Al-Fayyumi said: "Yellow is a color less intense than red."
