I would never say yellower... For me, something is always more yellow. |

Yellower is correct. It sounds a little odd, but it is the correct form of the adjective. |

yellower like narrower Sounds a bit odd, as Zora has already said. |

YELLOW IS A SHORT ADJECTIVE THAT CONTAINS TWO SYLLABLES AND ENDS IN "OW" . IT AUTOMATICALLY ENDS IN "er" IN THE COMPARATIVE . HAPPY TEACHING |

Two syllables adjectives enfing in " Y - OW " add ER / EST. Yellow - yellower - yellowest Narrow - narrower - narrowest.

For me, they are equivalent. There is no absolute rule for 2 syllable adjectives that are in comparative and superlative forms. Here�s a good little�link to a page that outlines�the��correct� rules. � Cheers, AB�
