cool colours
Ocean and sky tones
Cool colours are those associated with water, sky, and shade—blues, greens, and purples.
The term contrasts with warm colours (reds, oranges, yellows), which evoke fire and sunlight.
In design and art, cool colours tend to recede visually and create calming effects: The room felt spacious thanks to the cool colours on the walls.
