Colourful cutlery in Canada? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yellowknife

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'canada?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'colourful cutlery' is the wordplay.
'colourful' becomes 'yellow' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cutlery' becomes 'knife' (knife is a kind of cutlery).
'yellow'+'knife'='YELLOWKNIFE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
