Any of the three primary colors - red, yellow and blue, can have warm, neutral or cold shades. The names of all of them are unlikely to be useful in life, unless, if you are an artist. But knowledge of the basic of them will certainly help in choosing clothes and creating an image.
Cold colors and shades
Cold shades of colors always have in their composition a significant proportion of blue or gray. They go to girls of color-types "summer" and "winter". In this case, "summer" girls are better to choose smoky, pastel, muted shades, and "winter" - bright colors and shades of cold spectrum.
The coolest color is turquoise. Regardless of the shade, it can not be warm.
Cold shades of red - scarlet, alizarin, magenta; yellow - lemon; green - turquoise; blue - azure; purple - indigo; brown - taup; gray - the color of wet asphalt; pink - ultra-pink, ash pink.
Warm shades of color
In the warm shades there is a yellow or red tone. For red, a warm tint will be carrot, tangerine; for yellow - honey, saffron; green - light green; blue - heavenly; purple - orchid, lilac; brown - sand; gray - quartz; pink - pomegranate, mauve, salmon.
Warm colors are suitable for the color types " spring " and " autumn ". The beauty of "spring" is emphasized by light and soft hues, and for "autumn" girls the brightest, rich shades will be the best choice.
The warmest color of the spectrum is orange. It is never cold.
It is best to combine colors and shades from a single temperature range. Mixing warm and cold shades in one image negates the advantages of each of them, introducing an imbalance and untidiness.
This summer, stylists offer a variety of monochrome bows, picking clothes and accessories not a tone in tone, but different shades of the same color. Such images look very stylish and at the same time elegant.
Contrast is another actual method of mixing shades. For this, one or two color patches of contrasting color are added to the main shade. To determine the brightest and clearest contrast, use the color wheel. Just draw a straight line from the selected hue through the center. The color on which the line on the second side of the circle falls and will be the opposite of the chosen one.
The right combination of shades of color is a real art, which, however, it is quite possible to learn.
