COLOR THEORY 

We distinguish three primary colors, thanks to them we can get any other color. These primary colors are red, yellow and blue.  For a particular color, apart from the content of each individual tone, the brightness has also a big influence. Therefore, the amount of colors distinguished by us is so huge - each of them is a component of 4 factors. Additionally, we perceive the color differently on a shiny surfaces and on a matt surfaces. To simplify the description of colors, we use the terms: cool colors and warm colors.

Warm colors are those that are formulated with a major proportion of red. This is due to evolution, because for centuries, the red color of fire was associated with warmth. Warm colors evoke the human sense of closeness and optimism. Pure red color can also cause aggression, because of associations with strong impulse, which is the sight of blood.

Cool colors are those in which blue is the predominant color. It is obvious association with cold water or ice.

Also, our skin, hair and eyes can take shades of warm or cool. It is good to know your own shade of color, in order to properly choose the color of clothes, makeup and so on. I will prepare my next blog entry about it :)
