I don't think David, as I'm playing him, will ever resort to mind control on that level. He's intentionally trying to keep a low profile at this point, wanting to help people without being noticed if at all possible. I only mark him as potentially yellow because in his own universe, he's kind of universally known as a person of interest, and people always assume the worst of him, given his history or reality manipulation, and being manipulated himself.
Though David is a very powerful telepath, his mind is more or less an open book. Like....he has the potential to block out basically anyone, he's usually just trying to hold himself together, so he doesn't have the attention span to actively block people out of his mind. He prefers to psychically trick people into thinking that he's not there, or otherwise distract them instead.
