Learning About Colors

Warm Colors

🎨 Warm colors consist of orange, red, yellow, and combinations of these and similar colors. As the name indicates, they tend to make you think of warm things, such as sunlight and heat. Visually, warm colors look as though they come closer, or advance (as do dark colors), which is why they're often used to make large rooms seem cozier.

Cool Colors

🎨 Cool colors are typified by blue, green, and purple . They can calm and soothe. Where warm colors remind you of heat and sunshine, cool colors remind you of water and sky, even ice and snow.
