A LESSON IN COLOR MIXING PART 3

Now that we have reviewed PRIMARY, SECONDARY & INTERMEDIATE colors, TINTS, TONES & SHADES, we will now  learn which of these colors are WARM or COOL colors.

WARM and COOL colors are colors that reflect emotional values. They add warmth or coolness to a painting,  handknitted or crocheted item or to any number of other artistic pieces.

The WARM colors are: Yellow to Red-Violet on the Color Wheel.

The COOL colors are: Yellow-Green to Violet on the Color Wheel.

Next week I will be discussing  COLOR HARMONIES; colors that Go Together. Learning COLOR HARMONIES helps us develop harmonies in color and color patterns that are useful when developing designs for hand knit or crochet projects, painting, and in  many other artistic pursuits.

  1. I saw your sidebar info about BeautiControl cosmetics ... understanding warm and cool is important in the cosmetics world, isn't it? I worked for Estee Lauder, and that was a very big deal!

  2. I was great to read back and see what tints and tones and shades are. Never did like "art" class in school. I went with ceramics instead.
