Warm Colors: Names, HEX Codes & Shades

Warm colors are the reds, oranges and yellows, plus the pinks and browns that lean toward them. Here a color is warm when its hue is below 70° or at 330° or above, and it has at least 10% HSL saturation. Grays, blacks and whites are left out.

Warm colors sit on one side of the color wheel and cool colors on the other. A warm accent against a cool background is a simple way to create contrast and draw attention to one element.

Using warm colors

  • Accent colors, calls to action and highlights on cool or neutral pages.
  • Food, autumn, sunset and cozy designs.
  • Warm gradients, from yellow through orange to red or pink.
  • Warm backgrounds such as cream or peach for a friendly feel.

A warm color stands out against a cool background, but make sure the pair also has enough contrast, not only a different temperature.

A palette made only of warm colors can feel flat. Add one cool accent or a neutral to separate the layers.
