Warm Colors

Through a beautiful combination of colors, artists can add warm tones to their color palette.

The distinction between "warm" or "cold" colors appeared at the end of the 18th century, and is often used in the field of graphic art. The expressions refer to whether a tone is closer to orange or blue, while the notion of warmth comes from the impression that the mixture of colors evokes in the viewer.

The celebrated Russian painter Vassily Kandinsky believed that artists should use form and color to both express their own emotions and provoke them in the viewer. As the pioneer of abstract art, Kandinsky established a connection between shapes and colors. For him, a color's most intense warmth came from yellow, the "Earth color".

Indeed, whether a painting depicts the midday sun or a fiery sunset, yellow fields of wheat or ochre-colored houses, all these colors warm both our hearts and interiors
