When the renegade Sinestro was later imprisoned in the Power Battery himself, his Qwardian yellow power ring tapped into Parallax's power and awakened it. Thus, when recruiting new Green Lanterns, the Guardians were careful to look for recruits that were largely fearless. This was the reason why the rings were useless against the color yellow: Parallax weakened its power over the corresponding spectrum hence, only someone with the willpower to overcome great fear could master the power ring.
