Other colors are derived from the addition of red, yellow and blue, which are mainly divided into: colored, achromatic and neutral colors (not bright colors).

How to Identify Hue

We need to distinguish warm and cool colors. Purple and blue colors are usually considered cool colors, while orange and yellow colors are considered warm colors. You can use this as a starting point for understanding colors. But in real life, all colors contain both cool and warm tones - which is one of the things that makes the world colorful. Cool colors often evoke our emotions of calm, harmony, stability, and relaxation, we usually judge which colors are cool colors by having lower values of red and yellow or higher values of cyan or black, while warm tones are often judged in the opposite way. Warm tones are generally identified by relatively high red and yellow values, which often makes us feel warm and welcoming.
