Where is yellow-orange placed on the colour wheel?

Correct answer: Between yellow and orange

A tertiary colour is positioned between the two neighbouring colours named in its compound name. Yellow-orange is produced by combining yellow, a primary colour, with orange, a secondary colour. Consequently, it occupies the section between yellow and orange, so option C is correct. Yellow-green belongs between yellow and green, red-orange between red and orange, and blue-green between blue and green.
