Note that primary color terms are language-specific and their ranges vary by culture. It very well could be "oranje" in Dutch!

  True. Amber is not really a colour term that's often used in Dutch; most would actually see amber as a kind of orange.

    As Dutchman myseklf: the official colour as "the traffic light is:" are rood, oranje, and groen (i.e red, orange, and green). As actual colours if you have to pick them from a Dutch colour chart with Dutch colour names tough, they'd be rood, oranje-geel, and blauw-groen (red, orange-yellow, and blue-green). No tertiary or quaternaries for us, we love them hyphenated colours.

  As a Dutchman myself, who has stolen his fair share of traffic lights (who hasn't): still only what we call it because of the traffic-light-ness, if you had to write down the actual colour used, or had to point at it on a colour wheel, we'd pick "orange-yellow".
