If yellow CS is left in clear glass, the yellow sticks to the glass and the remainder still exhibits all the properties of CS. This tells me that yellow CS is not ALL yellow and contains a good percentage of the small colorless particles along with the larger yellow ones. The deeper the yellow for a given PPM, the higher the percentage is. Ion to particle ratio increases with the removal of the larger yellow particles but remains essentially the same quantity as conductivity doesn't change much at all.
I have recently made colorless batches with a conductivity of 43 microsiemens that have remained colorless for 2 weeks now and have a heavy/fine TE in laser light as viewed in a somewhat dimly lit room and no 'sparklies'. [run in 70 deg F water] I have yet to find a consistant saturation point for silver in solution with water. Particle size seems to be quite connected to current/electrode area ratios, water temperature and circulation.
