Ultramarine Blue is not warm. Hello, Bitsy. Thank you for your comments. I believe that it is all relative and based upon what approach you prefer to work with. A blue with a reddish cast to it reads warm, when compared to a greenish blue. One of our favorite color sites, Handprint. Thus, red is a warmer color than magenta, because red is closer to red orange; but both are warm colors in comparison to violet.
Thank you! I work in polymer clay and have made countless colour chip samples mixing variously biased colours to work this out for myself. This article gives me the words for my intuitive impressions, and has wiped the fog of confusion away.
Thank you for your kind words. Every time we create new color chart arrangements we play the exercise of comparing each color against every other color in our paint lines. The best advice I can add is to get a hand-painted color chart, cut it up into individual squares, mix them all up and re-arrange them onto a sheet of illustration board.
Some are easy and some are near impossible, but it trains your eye to really look at them for inherent properties. Thank you, Michael. I have just begun my journey as a painter and am grateful to you. Ba da bing! Thank you!!! To get muddy colors, mix warms with cools. Thank You!!! Is that correct? Would such a comparison be of value to us? Thank you for your comments and questions Judith. Hue refers to color, as in Chroma, Value and Hue. Chroma is how clean the color is, Value is how light or dark the color is, and Hue is the color space.
We would need to use the computer to tell us what base color such as red sits directly on the line between warm and cool neither a blueish red, or a yellowish red but squarely in between.
Then we could identify either side of it, far enough away to be recognizable by the eye. I think it should not be explained on paint colors. I did experiments in advancing warm and receding cool colours using theatre gels and light. Thank you for sharing such helpful and needed information. I am a beginer, with a life long desire to create beautiful works. I never understood why mixing some colors produced dull muddy colors. I am about to pull out my paints and experiment with the information you have provided.
Right now I only have craft acrylics, however, God willing soon I will begin purchasing a tube at a time of better quality acrylic paint. I look forward to reading and learning more from your posts. You are most welcome for the information, Monica. Many artists will start with less expensive paints and increase quality as they are able to. This goes for paints, gessoes, mediums and painting surfaces.
I would suggest colors like Napthol Red Light, which is less expensive than Pyrrole Red but will yield similar mixing results. Chromium Oxide Green is a great yellowish Green that is often overlooked compared to Phthalo Greens, although the phthalos are very highly pigmented and can be extended with mediums quite a bit before they become too transparent.
Try medium to paint Yes! That much! Contact us at help goldenpaints. This is the first article that explained WHY a color is warm or cool. I think if I had better guidelines I could learn to mix and use color more effectively. You are most welcome for this information. I tried to write this in a way that took the mysteriousness out of the concept of warm and cool colors and also make the concept useful in the studio. Color bias goes beyond the 4 color primary set introduced in the article.
For example, there are warm browns and cool browns. Warm browns can be yellowish to reddish, and cool ones tend to be towards the greenish bias. I do not believe we have a complete color listing for all of our colors.
We may need to create one if it seems helpful. As an artist, it cannot be stated enough that color mixing needs to be done by hand and with good note-taking to assure you can reproduce the mixtures during painting. A decent sketchbook is great to dedicate as your color journal. A color can be warm AND cool.
This is important so that you can better align the color palette you have, and likely doing this will identify gaps to fill with new colors. I hope that helps out and always feel welcome to reach out to our group of Material and Application Specialists here at Golden. This is a very nice explainer on color temperature. I have been painting with a six color palette plus white for probably 20 years. Warm and cool yellow, warm and cool blue, and warm and cool red. When I was taking painting classes I took a color theory course, plein air landscape course, and abstract course all in the same semester.
At that point, I knew I could mix almost any color with that palette. Noting people wanting the chart but not getting great colour on their printers. Could you supply some handouts to stores that stock Golden? Hi Heather. Thank you for your question and suggestion! We would be happy to do a color printing of this article and send it to you if you would like. All we need is a postal address. Thanks for this very informative article. I am currently building my artist website portfolio and hoping to be able to sell to as wide a market as possible so this is helpful info.
I subscribed to your newsletter and look forward to more art news, thanks! Thank you for such a comprehensive, clear, well written and beautifully illustrated article on the use cool colors.
Hi Mike and the fabulous Goldens. Marion here. I still use Golden and WIlliamsburg products all the time of course! I have now found a new usage for JustPaint as I am teaching a color and light class. So thank you for that. Knowing the difference between warm and cool colors is the first step.

In addition to the three language groups, the researchers used data from the World Color Survey , a publicly accessible collection of results from anthropologists performing similar guessing games among speakers of languages around the world.
When the researchers ranked the data from all languages, a division between warm and cool colors started to take shape: Listeners selected fewer possible chips when a speaker described a warm-colored one than a cool-colored one. The implication: If you were to take the spectrum of colors that are perceptibly different to humans and chop it in half, every language would have more words for describing the warm half than the cool half. And that would mean each word for a warm color refers to fewer colors than the cool words.
The warm words are more specific—and more efficient at getting the point across. The division in the new study has led the researchers to suspect that humans are fundamentally more interested in warm-colored things.
One roommate will call the new rug blue, another will call it green; one middle-school dance attendee requests that their date match their green getup, and the date shows up in turquoise.
