Why does my garage door sensor have a yellow light?

What color should Craftsman garage door sensors be?
The Safety Sensors If they are properly aligned, both sensors display a steady light; the one on the receiving sensor is green and the one on the sending sensor is orange. If something is in the path of the beam or the sensors are misaligned, it’s typically the green light on the receiving sensor that flashes.
What do lights on garage door sensors mean?
