Warm, bright colors such as yellow, red, and orange are active colors. They can give people a positive feeling, and they encourage conversations. Cool colors such as blue, purple, and green are relaxing colors. They help people experience calm feelings. Many public places are decorated with certain colors in order to create certain moods.
