Technically, it's called "school bus yellow", so I guess yellow would be the best answer, although it does look like it has an orange hue to it.
School buses are painted in a variety of shades of yellow or orange. But the official color in the US is called National School Bus Glossy Yellow (CMY 1, 12, 100). It is a mixture of cadmium yellow and cadmium orange, and was renamed from National School Bus Chrome, a paint that contained chrome yellowpigment (lead II chromate).

A yellow school bus is yellow primarily for safety and visibility. The bright color is easily recognizable and stands out in various weather conditions, making it easier for drivers and pedestrians to see. The specific shade of yellow used is known as "school bus yellow," which was chosen for its high visibility, helping to ensure the safety of children as they board and exit the bus. This color standard has been in place since the 1930s to promote uniformity and safety in school transportation.
School bus yellow is a colour which was especially formulated for use on School Buses in North America in 1939. The colour is now officially known in as National School Bus Glossy Yellow and was originally called National School Bus Chrome.In April of that year, Dr. Frank Cyr, a professor at Teachers College, University in New York organized a conference that established national school-bus construction standards for the U.S. . including the standard color of yellow for the school bus. It became known officially as "National School Bus Chrome." The color was selected because black lettering on that hue was easiest to see in the semidarkness of early morning.
