What color is dawn?

The color of light is a mixture of warm colors, such as red, orange and yellow.

Dawn is the light when the sun rises, and the color is composed of the colors in the solar spectrum. At sunrise and sunset, sunlight needs to pass through the atmosphere for a long distance, and red light with longer wavelength has the strongest transmission, so the dawn is red.

However, due to the influence of atmospheric scattering, the blue sky is also red, so sometimes it seems that the dawn also has orange or yellow tones. Therefore, dawn is usually a mixture of warm colors such as red, orange and yellow.
