To solve the problem, we need to determine how many parts of the page were colored yellow after Lindsay colored 4 parts orange and 5 parts green.

1. **Total parts of the page**: 16
2. **Parts colored orange**: 4
3. **Parts colored green**: 5

Now, we can calculate the total number of parts that are colored either orange or green:

$$
\text{Total colored parts} = \text{Parts colored orange} + \text{Parts colored green} = 4 + 5 = 9
$$

Next, we find the number of parts that are colored yellow by subtracting the total colored parts from the total parts of the page:

$$
\text{Parts colored yellow} = \text{Total parts} - \text{Total colored parts} = 16 - 9 = 7
$$

Now, we can express the fraction of the page that is colored yellow:

$$
\text{Fraction of the page colored yellow} = \frac{\text{Parts colored yellow}}{\text{Total parts}} = \frac{7}{16}
$$

Thus, the fraction of the page that Lindsay colored yellow is $$\frac{7}{16}$$.
Lindsay colored $$\frac{7}{16}$$ of the page yellow.
