  • Warm Colours (e.g., red, orange): These colours advance, meaning they are noticed first, appear to come towards the viewer, and are associated with being loud, bright, energetic, and youthful.
  • Cold Colours (e.g., blue, green): These colours recede, meaning they are noticed second, appear to move away from the viewer, and are associated with being quieter, peaceful, less important, calm, and trustworthy.
