Warm & Cool Colours

Warm and Cool Colours are one of seven types of contrast identified by Itten (1961). Colours categorised as warm are those associated with imagery that features fire, warm climates and hot/desert geographic locations. Cool colours include hues associated with imagery that features snow, ice, cold climates and wintery geographic locations. Colour illustration Zena O’Connor, PhD, © Design Research Associates.
