Cold and warm color images refer to visual representations that use colors to evoke feelings of coolness or warmth. Warm colors, like red, orange, and yellow, tend to advance and are associated with energy, passion, and warmth. Cold colors, like blue, green, and purple, recede and are often linked to calmness, serenity, and coolness. These color palettes are used in art, design, and photography to create specific moods or to highlight certain aspects of a scene.
