Several of the yellow pigments involved in garlic greening were identified by others:

and these also were produced by the interaction of sulfur compounds with amino acids.

But while dampness, acidity, maybe the presence of some free aminos in the environment will explain the outer rainbow, I don't have a full explanation of my yellow clove wrapper.
