Blues and greens
Cool colors are the blues, greens, and purples on the color wheel—those associated with water, sky, and shade rather than fire and sun.
In design and art, cool colors tend to recede visually and create calming or distant effects, while warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) advance and feel more energetic.
