A person is very susceptible to color, perceiving it as a zone of comfort or, conversely, discomfort. Conventionally, colors are divided into cold and warm colors. It should be noted that the color temperature is determined only with the help of our associations.
The human perception of warm tones is intuitively connected with the sun, fire, burning sand, because the base in all cases is yellow. A warm shade evokes positive emotions, inner joy, a state of comfort and bliss. It all resembles the feeling of summer. And which of us does not like summer, the hot sun, warm and golden sand, a riot of various colors?
How to distinguish warm from cold tones
Distinguishing a warm tone from a cold one is quite simple. The fact is that the entire color spectrum surrounding us is based on three basic colors. Warm colors - yellow and red, blue - cold. The rest of the palette is formed by mixing the base colors.
Due to the predominance of a particular color, unique shades are created. Therefore, the colors that occupy the honorable middle in this gradation, namely green and purple, can turn out to be both warm and cold.
Calm warm tones have a therapeutic effect, help relieve stress and avoid depression.
But in nature, everything is much more complicated - it is simply impossible to meet perfectly pure color. In reality, we see and use a range of shades that only emphasize the true depth and beauty of the primary color, making us unique in it. It is the shades that help to adjust the color within the framework of cold-heat.
It is interesting! An experiment is known when different groups of people were placed in rooms with the same temperature, but painted red and blue. After some time, people whose room was painted cold, the first began to complain about the coolness, and the second, that in the red room, was hot.
