today we are going to learn about warm and cool colors this is the color view the color wheel can be divided into two parts a warm side and a cool side what do you think of when you hear the word one how about the fire or even the Sun yes those are warm things what do you think of when you hear the word cool what about a refreshing glass of water or maybe a shady tree yes those are definitely cool things let's put them all together let's add the color wheel did you notice that these
items match the colors on the color wheel the water goes with the blue and the Sun goes with yellow but what about the fire and the tree let's change them around so that they match the colors on the color wheel that's it the tree matches the green and the fire matches the bread now we can answer what are warm colors the warm colors are yellow orange and red what are cool colors cool colors are green blue and purple warm colors appear energetic and vibrant they can give the feeling of warmth happiness and excitement cool colors
appear soothing and sometimes cold they can also give the feeling of calm relaxation and even sadness warm and cool colors can be considered opposites take a look at this picture then compare it to this picture poor pictures show a volcano but based on the colors we can see that each volcano is doing something different on the left the blues and greens suggests that this volcano is dormant or asleep there is a greater sense of calm and tranquility in this image compared to the volcano on the right the bright reds and yellows indicates that this volcano
is active hot fluid lava is raging out of this working know things are going to get a little more complicated with two similar colors can one be warmer and the other cooler for example colors II and B the answer is yes remember there are many different types of paints and they are even more brands of beans for example two different brands of green paint may not be an identical color match we know that the primary colors are used to mix all other colors and how much of each primary color is used will determine how warm
or cool a color is both yellow and red are warm colors while blue is a cool color now let's determine which color is warmer and which color is cooler colors a and B look green and our cool colors on the color wheel but what happens when they are side by side which color is warmer and which is cooler color is closer to a yellow on the color wheel and we know yellow is a warm color color B is closer to blue on the color wheel which is a cool color therefore color E is the warmer
color because it has more yellow than color B and color B is the cooler color because it has more blue and color E let's try another which color do you think is the warmer color and which is the cooler color C and D look red and our warm colors on the color wheel but what happens when they are side by side color D is closer to blue on the color wheel than color C is color C actually looks red color C is the warmer color because it has more red than color D and color D
is the cooler color because it has more blue than policy which is warmer and which is cooler what colors are mixed using yellow however color G is closer to red whereas color key is closer to blue therefore G is the warmer color and K is the cooler color it's time for a quiz can you identify which colors are warm and which are cool because your answer match this excellent [Applause] which color is warmer and which color is cooler if you said color II is cooler and color F is warmer then you are correct hopefully this
