What Could Be The Bright Yellow Colored Nasal Discharge?

I have a nasal discharge that is a really bright yellow ( canary or bright lemon yellow). Am use to the normal greenish yellow of a cold but this is like nothing I have ever seen. This started yesterday after about a week of the cold type of mucas. Any idea what is the cause?
