Warm Colors
"Warm" colors sit on the red, orange and yellow side of the wheel, the hues of fire and sunlight, and the word is also used for any color nudged in that direction. The register lists 27 color names containing "Warm" (or "Warmed"). As expected, the orange, red and yellow families account for most of them: Warm Orange, Warm Red, Warm Golden Yellow. Many are light, such as Warm White and Warm Ivory, which also describe the yellowish tone of lamp light. A few apply the idea to cool hues: Warm Blue is a blue leaning slightly toward violet, and Warm Green a yellowish green. The opposite idea is collected in the Cool list.
