red-yellow
Orange's parent hues
Red-yellow describes colors in the spectrum between red and yellow—the oranges, ambers, and tangerines.
The term appears in technical contexts like color theory, traffic signal descriptions, or botanical classifications where precision matters: The red-yellow autumn leaves covered the lawn.
Sometimes hyphenated to function as a compound adjective: a red-yellow sunset.
