Warm colors, also called active colors for their effects, are those with a subjective thermal sensation of heat. Warm colors contrast and complement cold colors.
In addition to meaning, a series of psychological and perceptual effects on people are also assigned to warm colors. It should be noted that some disciplines (such as interior design or chromotherapy to cite a couple of them) give these theories more credibility than others.
What mood or emotion does the artist communicate in the artwork? What question might you ask during the "describe" phase of an art critique? Who is the artist who created the artwork?
