Cool colors

Answer 3

traditionally the warm colors are taught as red-violet, red, red-orange, orange, yellow orange, and yellow and the cool colors are yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, blue-violet and Violet...however as an artist and art teacher i often tell my students they have the option to exclude the colors of red-violet, and yellow-green because in my opinion they do not feel "right enough" to be included in the groups they have be assigned...

if the information you are looking for is for yourself and you are looking to settle your mind then by all means go with your heart for that is where your art comes from...otherwise the facts are varied from one teacher to another as well as art texts teaching the "facts"...and since when did a creative artist rely on "facts"...
