Another way of looking at it:

Yellow damage is equal to red for a melee weapon if you can convert one surge to 3 (!) damage (or an effect you consider worth 3 damage, like stun). And with a ranged it's pretty much the same except you get an average +.7 range, so consider yellow worse unless you have really better surges than that.
