Ha! Yes, that'd be it. They've got quite an assortment, actually. Choose from the original "detrimental dalliance" or the alternate flavours ~ injurious infidelity; extirpative adultery; pernicious philandering; malefic flings; sinister seduction or the garden-variety toxic tryst.

Please note though that in the Native American Color Symbolism yellow stands for overcoming challenges through unconditional love

Oh yes, Iago, one of my favourite villains. I think I'll go and listen to his 'Credo' - maybe that'll inspire me to finish this blasted report!
It's # 12 if anyone's interested:
