Why is it wrong to place orange between blue and red?

Correct answer: Orange is made from red and yellow

Orange is incorrectly placed between blue and red because its component primary colours are red and yellow. On a traditional colour wheel, a secondary colour is placed between the two primaries used to mix it, so orange belongs between red and yellow. Blue and red produce violet, not orange. Orange is a recognised secondary colour on the wheel, and it is not a primary colour. Thus, option A correctly explains the error.
