The color temperature of a room—warm versus cool—depends on the hue you pick. Most warm colors are earthy tones like rust, orange, yellow, even forest green. These colors are comfortable, inviting, and effortless. Cool tones include blue, lavender, minty green, and blue-gray. These rooms are soothing, fresh, and best for bedtime. Neutrals skirt the line of warm and cool and can work with almost any color on the spectrum.
