Warm Colours
Even though I am such a creative
person, I have rarely shown that side to my personality on here. That is why I
decided to start this series of posts about colour and the way I think about
and use colour in my projects and in my day-to-day life. I hope you like these
posts and can take some inspiration from this series.
Today, I wanted to talk about the
three main colours I describe as warm colours; red, yellow and orange.
There are a lot of things I associate
with red. It can represent so many different things both positive and negative.
On the negative side, you have things such as demons, blood and anger. It can
be sort of representative of evil, of fire and of death, probably due to the
link to blood. However, there are so many wonderful things that might be
associated with the colour red. Often it is used to mean love and passion and
is the colour of roses and Valentine’s Day. I consider it among the warm
colours because of its connection to heat and the intensity of the colour in
general.
When it comes to yellow, it is
seen as a bright, vibrant colour. It can be cheerful and symbolic of optimism,
despite the negative effect its overbearing brightness is known to have on people.
I associate it with summer and hot days, as well as sunsets and the skies on
long nights. I suppose these links to heat and warmth are why I have
categorised it under warm colours.
Let’s talk about the third and
final of the warm colours; orange. It is the combination of the deep intensity
of red and the vibrant eye-catching nature of yellow. Like yellow, it reminds
me of sunset skies and of summer. Of course, it catches your eye and this is
one of the reasons I chose to incorporate it into the theme and logo of this
page. Naturally, orange has to be put under warm colours, as it is known to be
linked to flames and heat.
If I am trying to create an
intense, fiery effect on one of my projects or if I want to make things feel
warmer, I use these colours and try to put them side by side. This gives the
effect of flames and of heat. In some cases, it is only necessary to use two of
these three colours for a warm, powerful and intense effect of fire on any
artwork or creative project I am working on. When I am planning out and
visualising whatever it is I am making, I like to think about concepts like
fire or warmth to put into my overall design.
So, there you have it. Those are
the colours I consider to be warm colours and I have spoken about what they
mean and a little bit about how I use them in my creative works. Do you agree
with any of what I’ve said? Do you use warm colours in the ways explained
above? Let me know in the comments or via all of my social media links below
what you think of these colours and of this series in general and what you
think I should talk about next. Until next time, keep reading, keep following
and above all, keep believing!
