While the powerful antioxidants present in turmeric impart that vibrant yellow color, be aware that this same color can stick around a little too long. A good rule of thumb to follow is the one minute rule — if you notice no discoloration after sixty seconds, leave on for another four minutes. Test again, and keep it on all the way until 10 or 15 minutes, which should be the max for most products and at-home solutions.
