1. WARM AND COLD COLORS

2. Every color has a certain tendency towards what's called warm and cool or cold.

4. WARM COLORS Red, yellow and orange are traditionally associated with warm or hot things, like the shining sun, a glowing sunset or a roaring fire. These colors tend to advance towards the viewer.

7. COLD COLORS You can see these kinds of colors in objects that are naturally cold: green trees, blue water and sky, violet clouds on a snowy day. Cold colors tend to recede into the background, to create a calm, quiet and moody effect.
