Camouflage - gobies usually try not to stand out too much. What they have on color pattern usually helps them to blend in with the substrate that they live on.
I don't know where exactly you find YWG in the wild, but could imagine that their yellow-green blends in well with seagrass or Caulerpa.
If they have a shrimp or not may also be a factor.
I got my Yellow Watchman Goby in March of 2004 and it just died today, May 18th, 2017. She was over 13 years old and lived through several tank disasters as well, including an overnight water temperature of 55 degrees once. RIP Spencer. We named it Spencer when it was young and didn't know it was a female.
green clown goby (Gobiodon histrio) purchased in 2003, still going strong in his 6 gallon, bow front tank. i had no idea he would live this long and i will miss the little fella when he's gone.
Sad morning for me, after all these years i lost my little buddy, not due to old age but to power outage. Power went out for two hours sometime last night and woke up to find he had died and a dead tank. I admit that his death is hard.

Went through the same a couple of weeks ago - GFI tripped and my tanks were out of power for almost a day. Losses were percentage-wise low but I lost a number of hard to replace fish (Red Sea Regal, Latezonatus Clown,...) and a pair of wideband gobies that I had since 2016 and who survived a move.
Interestingly, my Yasha goby pair shrugged it off like it was nothing...
