Have you ever noticed that a color can give you a feeling or create a mood?  Culture and past experiences effect the way color is perceived, but there are also universal theories behind colors and emotions.  For example, warm colors can evoke energy, the feeling of warmth and comfort and even anger or passion.  Cool colors are considered the soothing and calming colors and can evoke sadness or loneliness.

What happens when you combine a cool colors with just a hint of warm?  You get January’s color palette!  The first and third hue bring a hint of warmth to the otherwise calming palette, adding a bit of comfort, emotionally.  This palette was inspired by the thought of relaxing with a glass of wine on a crisp, clear January evening.
