Hue in soil color terms corresponds to which color shorthand?

Green-Blue Yellow-Red White-Black Orange-Violet

Correct Answer:

Yellow-Red

Explanation:

Hue in soil color terms refers to the color family or position on the color wheel. The shorthand used to denote this hue commonly describes a hue between yellow and red, often written as Yellow-Red, which captures the warm soil colors many soils display due to iron oxides. Other pairings like Green-Blue aren’t standard hue designations for soils, and White-Black describe value or brightness rather than hue. Orange-Violet isn’t the typical hue shorthand used in standard soil color notation. So the Yellow-Red shorthand best represents the hue.
