4. Warm Color

Warm colors are often said to be hues from red through yellow, browns and tans included.

5. Cool Color

The phrase used to describe any color that is calm or soothing in nature. Cool colors are not overpowering and tend to recede in space. Examples of cool colors include white, gray, blue and green (think calming blue waters). Contrast with warm colors.

6. Neutral Color

Neutral colors include black, white, gray, and sometimes brown and beige. In Circus, Georges Seurat uses many different neutral colors.

Colors In Daily Life

Warm Colors:-They are effectively used in rooms that are on the east or north side of a house because light entering from those directions seems to be a cool light. The warm color and cool light complement each other and make the room seem cozier and warmer. According to orientation diagram kitchen should be in east so it should be made of warm colors.

Safety Color Guides

Green:- Safety – first-aid dispensary or kits, stretchers, safety deluge showers etc.
Blue:- Caution against movement or use of equipment being worked on such as elevators, scaffolding, etc.
Black and White:- Traffic direction; sanitation.

Split Complementary
•The split-complementary (also called Compound Harmony) color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two "Analogous" colors adjacent to its complement. Split-complementary color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less pressure.
