Default Can I change the start & end rainbow colors in word art

I would like to use the rainbow style for word art but need to start with
yellow and finish with green.

Unfortunately for you the rainbow style uses the colours of the rainbow (as
they appear in a rainbow) starting with Red and ending with Violet (or
reversed). I don't believe there is any way to change the order in which the
colours appear. You are going to have to use a third party graphics utility
to create fills that contain a preferred range of colours. The next best
thing would be to colour the individual letters of a plain text sequence.

But if a blend from yellow to green (without the other colors) is what is
wanted, then that's possible, I believe.

That would work for just two colours, but I get the feeling that all the
colours are required
