Yellow Paint 

Used in video games to describe any sort of mechanic to help players recognize a path or object at the expense of immersion.

This originated from Naughty Dog and their tendency to put yellow paint on interactable objects in the dark/unsaturated world of Horizon.
“Why’d they splash yellow paint on a ladder? Obviously, I can climb it. But now it sticks out like a sore thumb!”

Five bucks says some game journalist still got stuck at this part.”
