Why God has man attributes? -

Righteous, just, pitty, etc... All ethical attributes. Why don´t just yellow?
Because he was invented by man to create a reference for himself, for how our behavior should be.

Interesting find.
Though maybe it's just because that's the way that it would be normal to explain his attributes? We don't really know what he is like. So it would just be easier to make him a man.

As usual, you have it exactly backwards.
Man was created in God's image (Genesis 1:27). It's not that God has the attributes of mankind; it's that mankind has many of the attributes of God. (But no idea what you mean by "just yellow.")

Sic.
We know what God is like. We know by reading the Bible. He tells us.
I've heard people complain about the length of the Bible before, but if you quit before finishing Genesis 1, there's not a lot of hope for you.
Acts 13:8 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Don't you think that you are already in enough trouble without causing further trouble with God:

Recognize that?
Anyway: the answer is that God made man in his image, and as a consequence, it is unsurprising that we are like God, except we cannot do miracles (i.e.magic things.)

Ge:1:26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Ge:1:27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

So - this theory is unique with you and exclusively yours? On what basis are you making this assumption, and more importantly, how do you intend to prove it?
I hear CNN is hiring - you might want to submit an application.
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
...and get off my lawn

Yellow?
No friend, God has skin like porcelain, steely blue eyes and hair of Gold. The only man that comes close to that is Donald J. Trump.
God is no gook.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

No man has unstoppable power with which to move imovvable objects. Only God can.
Can you make a sun and keep it stoked with coal?
Have you the diamonds to toss into the heavens to twinkle at night?
Can you create Heaven and Hell?
Create the Earth and all that is on it in just six days?
When you can do these tasks, let me know.

So in your opinion, ethical behavior for people should include mass murder (Sodom and Gomorrah, Flood), drowning babies (the Flood again), and punishing others forever for quite petty offenses?
Oh dear, I hope I never cross path with you, then! You don't seem like a very ethical individual!
Our God is not an ethical God. He creates good and evil. He does good things and also terrible cruel things (like giving cancer to a three year old).
Our God is NOT a moral example. He gives us moral rules to follow, that's a fact, but He is above and beyond all rules of ethical behavior.
So get your act together and praise Jesus, or you'll burn in Hell forever!!

Therefore, we made him.

Lack of evidence does not make an argument.
Jeremiah 6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Best wishes for the people in Ukraine.
