Temperature Relationships
Designers can establish relationships within a color
palette based on relative temperature. Grouping colors with similar temperature, togeth-
er with one or two variations on the same hues that are warmer or cooler—for example,
a cool green, blue, and violet with a warmer green—can generate enormous possibilit-
ies for combining the colors while maintaining a tightly-controlled color environment.
