Warm vs. Cold Colors
Color is one of the most important aspects of the design of any room. It can create a mood or evoke memories of a far off, distant place. Colors can even make you smile, relieve your stress, and help you wander off into a good night's sleep.
Warm colors:
Warm colors consist of orange, red, yellow, and combinations of these and similar colors. As the name indicates, they tend to make you think of warm things, such as sunlight and heat. Visually, warm colors look as though they come closer, or advance (as do dark colors), which is why they're often used to make large rooms seem cozier. If you have a huge bedroom that you want to look more intimate, try painting it a warm color such as brown to make it feel cozier.

Cold colors :
Cool colors are typified by blue, green, and light purple. They can calm and soothe. Where warm colors remind you of heat and sunshine, cool colors remind you of water and sky, even ice and snow. Unlike warm colors, cool colors look as though they recede, making them great for small rooms that you want to appear larger. If you have a tiny bedroom or powder room that you want to enlarge visually, try painting a color such as light blue to make it seem more spacious.
