Which colors are categorized as cool colors?

• A. Blue, Green, Purple
• B. Blue, Green
• C. Red, Yellow, Blue
• D. Blue

Answer: (A)

Cool colors are blues, greens, and purples. They have cool undertones and tend to recede in a composition, which creates a calm, soothing feel. The option that lists blue, green, and purple matches this group exactly. One choice has blue and green but leaves out purple, so it’s incomplete. Another combines red and yellow, which are warm colors that tend to advance. The last option lists only blue, which doesn’t represent the full cool-color group.
