Warm and Cold Colour

Warm and Cold Colour

This warm painting, Le Semeur, was created by Vincent van Gogh. This painting is "warm" because the sunlight has been painted with warm colours. Colours containing red and orange are warm colours while colours containing green or blue are cool colours. Warm colours advance or come forward while cool colours retreat or go back into a painting. Many artists use colour to create a mood. [MH] {NR}
