No sky color necessarily means that a tornado will form. A yellow sky during or before a tornado is due to the fact that most tornadoes form in the late afternoon or early evening and often take place around sunset.

What color of sky warns of tornado activity?

No particular sky color necessarily indicates tornado activity. It is commonly state that a greenish sky indicates a tornado, but it doesn't need to be gray for a tornado to occur, nor does a green sky necessarily mean there is a tornado, just a severe thunderstorm. In a tornadic storm the clouds may appear green, gray, yellow, or black.

No. Tornadoes often form near the back edge of a thunderstorm, and so part of the sky may be blue during a tornado. In tornadic and other severe thunderstorms, it is also not uncommon for the clouds to take on a greenish hue.

Why is it yellow outside before a tornado?

The sky can be a number of colors before and during a tornado. While gray is the most common green and yellow are not uncommon. This a result of two factors. First, tornadoes typically form in the late afternoon or early evening and so it is not uncommon for them to form at or near sunset, this allows for unusual lightning conditions. Second, tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms that have powerful updrafts and hold large amounts of moisture in the upper levels. This results in unusual refractions of color when the sun is low in the sky.
