Generally it is turmeric which is a yellow/orange rhizome a bit like ginger but without much taste. On special occasions it would be coloured with saffron which does have a very distinct taste and yellow colour.

Barry is correct. However Turmeric can be very tasty but must be brolied or fryed for at least 10 minutes to benefit from its special flavour.
