The correct comparison is:

**The frequency of blue light is greater than that of yellow light, while the speeds of both colors of light are the same.**

In general, the frequency of light is inversely related to its wavelength; blue light has a shorter wavelength than yellow light, which means it has a higher frequency. All colors of light in a vacuum (including blue and yellow) travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
