Warm colors come forward and cool colors recede, simple and useful information for creating pictorials.

 

Think of the sun for hot colors:

 

Red      Yellow     Orange

 

A color that contains one of these hot colors becomes a warm color, example:

 

Yellow green     red purple

 

Think of the distant hills or snowy day and you will have the cold colors:

 

Green      Blue     Violet

 

A color that contains one of these cold colors becomes a cool color, example:

 

Blue green     blue purple
