Proline reacts with the ninhydrin reagent to form a yellow-colored complex. This complex is a result of a chemical reaction between proline and ninhydrin, leading to the formation of a chromophore that absorbs light in the visible spectrum, resulting in the yellow color.

Why proline amino acid gives yellow colour in reaction with ninhydrin?
Yes. Within "The Chemical Reactions of Amino Acids / Reactions of Amino Groups" there are several examples - one of which is the ninhydrin reaction. A very widely applied reaction of the alpha amino group [that is the N in the peptide bond -CCN-CCN-], it is used to estimate the quantity of amino acids [in a sample] in very small amounts. All amino acids and polypeptides with a free alpha group react with ninhydrin and yield [or produce] an intensely purple colored product - except for Proline and Hydroxyproline {both in which the alpha amino group is termed to be 'substituted' - something to do with carbon rings} which "yield derivatives with a characteristic yellow color." See also 'Schiff's bases'.
What color mixing give yellow?
Mixing red and green gives yellow.
What color combination gives you yellow?
Mixing red and green together in equal parts will produce the color yellow.
What element is responsible for the yellow color of K2CrO4?
The element responsible for the yellow color of K2CrO4 is chromium. In this compound, chromium is in the +6 oxidation state which gives it a yellow color.
What colours then mixed gives orange?
Mixing red and yellow together will create the color orange.

Mixing red and green gives yellow.
What color will be produced by proline with ninhydrin?
When ammonia or primary and secondary amines are detected, a deep blue or purple color known as Ruhemann's purple is produced. Ninhydrin can also be used to monitor deprotection in solid phase peptide synthesis (Kaiser Test). The chain is linked via its C-terminus to the solid support, with the N-terminus extending off it. When that nitrogen is deprotected, a ninhydrin test yields blue. Amino-acid residues are attached with their N-terminus protected, so if the next residue has been successfully coupled onto the chain, the test gives a colorless or yellow result.
What color combination gives you yellow?
