color question

What would I get if I bred a yellow dragon to a red italian leatherback? Would the babies be orange?

I don't think the color wheel comes into play when breeding. I think you would get red and yellow leatherbacks and R/Y regulars. But I don't know for sure

Breeding red to yellow gives you an orange cast on your yellows. If you have a dragon that is that bright, clear highlighter yellow, don't breed it with reds.

I have a yellow male that is pretty bright yellow. But I just got a yellow female and a red letherback female. I plan on breeding the yellow to yellow first and the hopefully the yellow to red leatherback. So are you saying the leathers will most likely be bright orange?
