Combining Warm and Cool Colors
It's also possible to combine warm and cool paint tones in one room in order to create certain effects. Just keep in mind as a rule of thumb that as you move closer to red on the color wheel, cool tones become warmer.
Consequently, how do you decorate with warm and cool colors?
Use warm colors such as red, shades of orange and yellow in rooms with northern light exposure for a pleasant balance of analogous colors. A room with southern exposure can benefit from the use of both warm and cool colors. Rooms can appear larger with cool pale colors such as light blue or mint green.
Additionally, what cool colors go together?
There are so many colors that look good together, let me name few of my favorites :
- Ombre/Bright pink, purple and blue.
- Pastel pink, blue and purple.
- Yellow, red and orange.
- Same color in different shades.
- Turquoise, pink and yellow.
- Black, red and orange.
- Ombre/Bright pink, purple and blue.
Cool or Not If the undertone of the gray is green, blue or purple, the color is considered a cool color. If the undertone of the gray is pinkish, it is considered a warm color, with red as the base. Pink-grays are sometimes regarded as taupe.
