![]() For the next swatch, I have added a little bit of green paint to the orange pigment, which lowers the temperature of this color a bit more. The next box is filled in with pure orange, without any addition of red, making its color slightly colder than the previous one. For the top swatch, a little bit of red is added to the orange, which makes this color very warm. I will now repeat the same exercise for the orange color. The top swatch has an orange shade, and therefore is the warmest out of the five the lowest one is the coldest, because it has a green shade. However, when all five swatches are compared to each other, they have a noticeable difference in temperature, although the contrast is very low. ![]() Every single yellow swatch, when taken on its own, is considered to be a warm color. The aim here is to fill in all five boxes with yellow color swatches, making a gradation of temperatures from warm to cold, as you go from top to bottom. The purpose of this exercise is to develop a good understanding of temperature difference when painting different shades of the same hue. Different yellow colors will also have a temperature contrast, although it will only be a subtle difference between temperatures of very similar colors. But how about when we have different shades of only one color, such as yellow. Next to warmer yellow-orange and red, the pure yellow color looks cold, but when it placed next to yellow-green, green and blue, this yellow color is considered to be warm.īlue and orange, green and red are obvious examples of a high cold-warm contrast. Here's yet another example – this time for the yellow color. The same goes for the green: when it is placed next to the yellow and red, its color is cold but next to blue and violet, the green swatch appears warm. When it is placed next to the red and orange warm colors, the violet swatch appears cold, but when the violet color has blue neighbors, its color is warm. I will now do the same demonstration for the violet color. This therefore demonstrates that the same color can be cold in one situation and warm in another. However, when a Rose violet swatch is placed next to the cold blue colors, its temperature is undoubtedly warm. In comparison to its neighbors, the Carmine paint swatch has a cold color. Next to the first swatch, I paint warmer colors, such as orange and red. For this purpose, I will apply two swatches of Carmine paint – this color is located on the warm side of the color circle. To demonstrate how this works, I show how the Rose violet color appears in combination with other colors. Orange and blue are very obvious examples of hot and cold colors however, what about the red-violet color – is this hot or cold? It depends on the other colors is it surrounded with. The orange color in-between has a high temperature, and appears in strong contrast to the blue boxes. ![]() I will now apply this blue color on both sides of the orange swatch. Let's now see how turquoise blue paint swatch looks between two orange boxes: it appears very cold when surrounded by warm colors. I fill in some of the boxes with the Cadmium orange paint. ![]()
