> I buy it could have been a yellow paint tube.

I don't know how anyone would come to that conclusion. It's "definitely not possibly" (adverb chaining, really?) a tube squirting yellow in image. If ascribing modern symbolism to images rather than what's portrayed plainly, there's no reason that any of the images are symbolic of words starting with the appropriate letters.



I mean, it's clearly not a well designed piece, otherwise this whole discussion wouldn't be here.

I could easily say "no one would ever draw an axe with a bendy handle". The intent is obviously unclear given all this discussion.

A paint tube for colour is an icon that exists and gets used. The representation on the ball isn't far enough off I would rule it out.
