Warm or cool..

What is a cool or warm colour? Cool colours are blues, violets and greens and warm colours are reds, oranges, yellows and greens. You may have notice green is in both sections, that is because green can be considered both warm and cool. Colours generate a feeling inside you without you even knowing. Have you ever walked into a room and felt something just isn’t right, that is the energy being created from your colour surrounds both positive or negative.



Blue, Violet & Green: Relaxing, calming, soothing

Red, orange, yellow & green: Warm, cozy, energizing

Example: the colour blue can be associated with the ocean creating a relaxing and calming feeling. The colours orange and red can be accotiated with warm and cozy like the feeling you get when your sitting next to a fire on a cool winter night.

Allthough colours are either warm or cool, a cool colour can still be warmer then another cool colour. Huh? For example, you have a red-violet colour next to a blue-violet colour, the blue violet is cooler then the red-violet. It is all about what you are comparing your colour to whether it technically warm or cool.
