I also use the original yellow but also use a sort of olive-yellow or straight olive for some. Also, I don't always use the standard furnace hackle although it does give a nice segmented body appearance. Instead I sometimes use a yellow-olive or olive grizzly hackle. Guess you could say they are not even true Cracklebacks anymore.
