Warm Colors: Colors such as red, yellow, and orange. These colors evoke warmth because they remind us of things like the sun or fire. Cool Colors: Colors like blue, green, and purple (violet). These colors evoke a cool feeling because they remind us of things like water or grass. Neutral Colors: Gray, Brown. These aren't on most color wheels, but they're considered neutral because they don't contrast with much of anything. They're dull and uneventful.

n Value: Usually refers to the amount of black in a color. The more black a colour has, the darker its value. Brightness: Refers to the amount of white in a color. The more white a colour has, the brighter it is. Saturation: Refers to the amount of a color used. When a color is at full saturation, it is extremely vibrant. When a color is "desaturated, " a large amount of color has been removed. Desaturated colours tend to be close to being neutral because there is so much gray in them.
