The color of light that will be diffracted at a greater angle from a diffracting grating is THE YELLOW COLOR.
This is because, the degree of diffraction depend on the wavelength of light and light color with shorter wavelength are diffracted at a larger angle than those with longer wavelengths. The wavelength of the yellow color is much more smaller than that of the red color.
