The Message of Color
• Color and Symbols:• Red means STOP, yellow means
CAUTION, and green means GO!• Color and Tempertature:
• Red, orange, and yellow look like sunlight and fire; therefore they are warm colors.
• Blues, greens, and violets represent cool temperatures.
• Color and Movement:• Colors can create illusions of
movement. Warm colors tend to advance, or move toward you. Cool colors tend to recede, or move away from you.
• Color and Mood:• You may reach for a red or yellow
sweater on a dreary day to help brighten your mood.
• Blues, violets, and greens give a sense of calm and relaxation.
