Composite RCA cables feature one yellow connector for video, and red and white connectors for audio. Component cables use the red and white audio connectors, but they divide the video into three components: one for luma (brightness) and two for color information. This is known as YPbPr component video.

Can I plug yellow into green?
You cannot plug the yellow plug into any one of the green, blue, or red, and get correct video. Generally you will need some sort of adapter to do that, and itll probably be priced high enough that a composite-to-HDMI adapter may be cheaper.
Is RGB the same as YPbPr?
RGB is an analog Video Component. YPbPr is an analog component but its digital component is also available and called YCbCr. RGB usually comes with 15 pin connections. YPbPr uses only three separate cables.
How do you plug red white yellow into red green blue?
For most televisions Look for a set that has a green input with yellow around it, or the word video just above or below it. Plug the yellow end of the Wii A/V cable into this green Y input. Plug the white end into the audio L and the red into the audio R. Leave the blue and second red holes open.
Are green and yellow AV cables the same?
Composite video (the yellow cable) carries both the brightness and color information on the same line, which is why the quality isnt quite as good. If you plug a yellow composite cable to your green component port, it will take the brightness information from composite and think its meant to be the green channel.
