I think the association mostly comes from British Liberals you can already see orange flags signifying Whigs in 18th century paintings like this one, orange being the colour of House of Orange and Protestants. I guess over time orange simply turned yellow.
The use of yellow among the actual Liberal parties is nowhere near universal and at least in Europe blue might be at least as if not more common. Oftentimes using yellow is pretty recent thing too like with German FDP which only adopted it in the 70s.
