Which colour is generally produced by mixing equal amounts of red and yellow?

Correct answer: Orange

In traditional paint or pigment mixing, red and yellow are primary colours that combine to form orange, a secondary colour. Because the two colours are used in equal amounts, the result is described as a balanced orange rather than a strongly red-orange or yellow-orange hue. Green requires blue and yellow, violet requires red and blue, and brown is not the standard direct result here.
