People usually talk about two groups of colours: warm colours and cool colours. Scientists think that there are also two kinds of people: people who prefer warm colours and people who prefer cool colours. The warm colours are red , orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of lights , people usually want to be active. People think that red , for example , is exciting . Sociable people , those who like to be with others , like red . Scientists also find that warm colours can produce a comfortable feeling and that time seems to pass quickly in a room with warm colours than with cool colours . So a warm colour , such as red or orange , is a good choice for a living room or restaurant.
The cool colours are green , blue and violet . These colours , unlike warm colours , are relaxing . Where there are cool colours , people are usually quiet . People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue . Cool colours are better for offices because it can make people who are working feel relaxed and calm.
