Warm Vs Cool Colors

Let's break down warm and cool colors in the design. Start simple, and build your understanding as you mix and match to create color palettes! 🎨 #interiordesign #homedecor #colors #house #home

Remember that there are warm and cool versions of every color (except orange, there is really not a cool orange 😂) so you can still have warmer blues or cooler reds. Don’t feel like a color is automatically off limits

The undertones change everything. Every red thing I buy looks different bc some are warm, some are cool, some are neutral.

In fashion styling there is a thing called color seasons which is helpful for more than picking out outfits. Most colors can be cool or warm, warmer vs cooler shades of green or purple, a bright tropical ocean blue is a warm blue. Winter and summer are cool, autumn and spring are warm. The next factor is the softness/muted elements of a color vs the bright elements of color. Winter and spring are bright and summer and autumn are muted. It’s really fascinating to look at colors like this and has helped me with all elements of design

I really think color theory gets so convoluted by a lot of professionals. The standard "paint" pink is cold, as well as violet and magenta. The problem is when colors that are in the light rays get mistakenly transferred over to the 3-D formations, like in paint. These are not the same colors or rules. They are attempts to copy the light rays of the spectrum. Hence, the pigments will change the actual color, but manufacturers keep the name. In light there are only a few reds our eyes can see, but in pigments there are a plethora.

Up North, my bedroom was painted gray. On a bright winter day, the light made it look like it was cold and inhospitable.
20 years in Florida, and every room has been painted in warm skin shades, with lighter or darker tones.
It is particularly beautiful at night with indirect incandescent lighting. The soft light makes my guests look their best, and the warmth of the room creates an intimate atmosphere.

I feel like “warmth” in design is an overrated concept. Like I am not opposed to warm colors, but the extremes of coolness are always the ones on display to demonstrate the sterility of cool colors, when cool colors can be very beautiful and homey too.

That first cool colour of blue in the bedroom, do you know what that colour was?

Red is not calming nor friendly I think. McDonald's has red because it stresses people so they want to eat and leave.
