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

Correct answer: Orange

In the traditional painting colour system, red and yellow are primary colours. Mixing them in balanced amounts produces orange, which is classified as a secondary colour; therefore option B is correct. Green results from yellow mixed with blue, while violet results from red mixed with blue. Blue itself is a primary colour in this model, so options A, C, and D do not match the stated pair. The answer assumes pigment mixing, not coloured light.
