Cold colors

Cool colors - the subjective definition of colors shifted in the color spectrum towards the violet.

This term can be absolute (referring to the shades of violet, blue, and green) as well as relative: it may refer to virtually any chromatic color that is shifted towards violet rather than colorfully perceived as "pure". For example, the olive green color is considered warm and the emerald shade is too cold, but this assignment can vary considerably depending on the individual characteristics of the observer's perception, and above all on the color surroundings, ie the immediate neighborhood of another color. Receiving by the observer the color as warm or cold is therefore relative.

This term may also refer to "almost" achromatic colors, ie, shades of gray may also be considered cold if they contain cool colors or are absolutely neutral in the vicinity of warm colors.

On the color wheel, the cool colors range from medium green to all shades of blue to medium violet.

Determining colors as cool is an exact opposite of color temperature, since the colors considered cool correspond to higher color temperatures.

In the common sense, cool colors are considered to be calming, motivating to relax and reflect, sometimes depressing. This is not entirely consistent with the empirically verified psychological pattern of color, as people of different characters may react differently to this.
