Shimano support colorway is either White on Blue or Blue on White. No yellow, seems wrong... ;(
I think the white vehicle with blue is current?
;)
Yellow used Mavic Service bikes may have been a good purchase after all...

Does Shimano have wheels that work with 12 speed Campy?

Good question. Maybe they'll buy some hubs from Mavic. ;-)
From the article:
"In a statement, the new (Mavic) owner said: “Mavic must rediscover the dimension of a family SME with agile governance and short and autonomous decision-making circuits that it has lacked in recent years, and with a refocus on what has made the success of the brand.”
Oh Brother...I
really
hate corporate speak.
This is definitely the end of an era.

Hey, it's a tough job, made even tougher since disc brakes arrived in the peloton.
If you were referring to Mavic's business, no argument here.

Worse than corporate speak is corporate acronym speak.

Do any teams still use rim brakes? That would mean at least 6 different types of rear wheels, and 2 types fo fronts? Do disc rotors line up that well?

Discs lining up great point/question.
I intentionally went all centerlock with the deluded impression my wheels would interchagably plug and play.
Even same size/model rotors not exact I learned.

My solution, using 6 bolt rotors, was to buy 3 sets of the same XT hubs at the same time and build 3 sets of wheels. Tolerances on different hubs were not close enough and rubbing/drag was a problem. I doubt that Shimano/Sram/Campy hubs are interchangable without tweaking which would be a major PITA for a pro race.
Also, I found that different rotors were different thickness which caused problems.

I've seen the exact same things with our disc-equipped bikes. In fact, later today I'll be installing some Syntace shims on a new pair of wheels I got for Linda's fat bike, as there's ~.040" difference in the position of the disc compared to her other wheels. That may not sound like a lot, but it's the difference between rubbing hard on the pads on one side and not rubbing at all.

Two teams ran rim brakes in 2020: Team Jumbo-Visma and Team Ineos. The latter is reported to be switching to discs in 2021, but knowing that team I wouldn't be surprised if they found a place to use rim brakes.

I use Syntace rotor shims, and on the two pairs of wheels that I use on my gravel bike - one 700c pair running 35mm road tyres, one 650b pair running 48mm gravel tyres - I shimmed the rotors so that I can swap the wheels without the pads rubbing.
