    Color Theory: The Meaning of
    Color
    • Color theory is a science and art unto itself,
    which some build entire careers on, as color
    consultants or sometimes brand consultants.
    Knowing the effects color has on a majority
    of people is an incredibly valuable expertise
    that designers can master and offer to their
    clients.
    Warm Colors
    These are the colors of fire, of fall
    leaves, and of sunsets and sunrises,
    and are generally energizing,
    passionate, and positive.
    RED (PRIMARY
    COLOR)
    It’s associated with fire, violence, and
    warfare. It’s also associated with love
    and passion.
    ORANGE (SECONDARY
    COLOR)
    - associated with health and vitality. In
    designs, orange commands attention
    without being as overpowering as red. It’s
    often considered more friendly and
    inviting, and less in-your-face.
    YELLOW (PRIMARY
    COLOR)
    - associated with deceit and
    cowardice, though (calling someone
    yellow is calling them a coward),
    hope, and danger. In Egypt, for
    example, yellow is
    for it
    In Japan, mourning.

    In India it’s a color for merchants


    Cool Colors
    Cool colors include green, blue, and
    purple, are often more subdued than warm
    colors. They are the colors of night, of
    water, of nature, and are usually calming,
    relaxing, and somewhat reserved.
    GREEN (SECONDARY
    COLOR)
    Green is a very down-to-earth color. It
    can represent new beginnings and
    growth. It also signifies renewal and
    abundance.
    BLUE (PRIMARY COLOR)
    Blue is often associated with sadness,
    calmness and responsibility, peace and
    spiritual connotations.
    PURPLE (SECONDARY
    COLOR)
    It’s associated with creativity and
    imagination. In Thailand, purple is the
    color of mourning for widows. Dark
    purples are traditionally associated with
    wealth and royalty, while lighter purples
    (like lavender) are considered more
    romantic.
    Neutrals
    Neutral colors often serve as the
    backdrop in design. They’re
    commonly combined with brighter
    accent colors.
    BLACK
    On the positive side, it’s commonly
    associated with power, elegance, and
    formality. On the negative side, it can
    be associated with evil, death, and
    mystery.
    WHITE
    - often associated with purity,
    cleanliness, and virtue.
    GRAY
    Gray is a neutral color, generally
    considered on the cool end of the
    color spectrum. It can sometimes be
    considered moody or depressing.
    BROWN
    Brown is associated with the earth,
    wood, and stone, dependability and
    reliability, with steadfastness, and
    with earthiness. It can also be
    considered dull.
    BEIGE AND TAN
    - symbolize piety. It’s a
    conservative color in most
    instances, and is usually reserved
    for backgrounds.
    CREAM AND IVORY
    In design, ivory can lend a sense of
    elegance and calm to a site. Ivory
    and cream are sophisticated colors.
