Colors in the red, orange, and yellow families that evoke warmth, energy, and closeness.
Warm colors occupy one half of the color wheel, roughly from red-violet through red, orange, and yellow to yellow-green. They are associated with sunlight, fire, and heat, and tend to advance visually, making objects appear closer and larger. In design, warm colors create feelings of excitement, passion, and urgency, which is why red is widely used for sale signs and call-to-action buttons. Warm color dominance in a design creates an energetic, inviting atmosphere. When paired with cool accents, warm colors gain even more visual impact.
