Warm-toned colors (think of a sunset: reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks) can make a space feel warm, inviting, and cozy. However, too many warm tones in one area can make a room feel closed off.
Cool-toned colors (greens, blues, purples, and variations of the three colors like grays, blues, silver, and most whites) can make a room feel grounded, calming, and clean. Using too many cool tones in one room can make a space feel cold and unwelcoming (there’s a reason they’re called cool-toned!).
Neutral colors (blacks, whites, and browns) are often paired with brighter accent colors to contrast a space. These colors add a sense of sophistication and professionalism to a space.
