Color Temperature Analyzer
Analyze the warm/cool temperature of colors and palettes.
What is Color Temperature?
Color temperature describes the psychological warmth or coolness of a color. Based on the color wheel, warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) evoke energy and excitement, while cool colors (blues, greens, purples) suggest calm and professionalism. Understanding color temperature helps you create palettes that convey the right emotional tone.
This tool analyzes your palette's temperature balance, showing you the warm/cool distribution and helping you achieve the mood you're aiming for.
