We often choose colors to decorate our homes that are close in temperature to the ambient temperature of our environment. In the US warm colors are preferred in the West, Southwest and South. Cool colors are favored in the Northwest, Midwest and East. However, color preferences do change with temperature extremes. If the temperature is in the 60s or cooler, red is the first choice.
Color is a powerful force in our lives, especially for artists.
Surround yourself with colors that you like. Don't try to stifle your creativity and basic feelings about a color, you won't be able to fool yourself for long.
