They are not the same, but they are interchangeable. I like yellow
better. What you've got to watch out for is "corn meal mix". It's
something like half cornmeal and half self-rising flour. (which might
actually work in your recipe) It comes in a bag that looks just like
cornmeal, and it can really screw you up if you need one and buy the other.
