Warm or Cool?

Colors are often referred to as “warm” or “cool.” Colors with yellow undertones will seem warmer while colors with blue or red undertones will appear cool. Cool colors – blues, greens and violets – invite relaxation and thought. Warm colors – reds, oranges and yellows – encourage conversation and play. Color experts at Sherwin-Williams Paint suggest using both warm and cool colors in rooms where you desire balance and variety.
