Regardless, the general idea is the warm colors are Red, Orange and Yellow; and the cool colors are Green, Blue and Magenta (Figure 2). Figure 2: The classic color wheel divided into Cool and Warm halves.
What are the 6 cool colors?
“In general, warm colors are those in the red, orange, and yellow families, while cool colors are those in the green, blue, and purple families,” Dale says. Think scarlet, peach, pink, amber, sienna, and gold versus cooler teal, eggplant, emerald, aqua, and cobalt.
How do you tell if a color is cool or warm?
Warm colors typically have undertones that are orange, yellow, or red, while cool colors have undertones that are green, blue, or purple. If you don’t want to analyze the undertone too intently, just figure out if the color looks warm or cool to you, and what kind of mood you want your space to have.
