Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Defining opposite colors
Step 1: Opposite colors, or complementary colors, are pairs of colors that, when combined, produce a neutral color (white or gray in light, or a neutral tone in pigment). They are opposite each other on the color wheel.
Identifying yellow's complement
Step 2: In the traditional color wheel (pigment
-based, as implied by the context), yellow’s complementary color is purple (or violet), as they are directly opposite each other.
Evaluating options
Step 3: Analyze the options:
- (A) Blue: Incorrect, as blue is complementary to orange.
- (B) White: Incorrect, as white is not a hue and
Thus not a complementary color.
- (C) Green: Incorrect, as green is complementary to red.
- (D) Purple: Correct, as purple is the complementary color to yellow.
Thus, the correct answer is (D).
