Warm & Cool Colors
Warm colors are associated with warm things, such as sunshine or fire.  Cool colors are associated with cold things, such as ice, snow, water or grass.  Warm colors seem to move towards the viewer (foreground). Cool colors recede into space (background).  (see an artist’s example.)
