The law of color contrast is: in warm color environment, the main body of cold color is eye-catching, while in cold color environment, the main body of warm color is the most prominent. Besides cold and warm contrast, color contrast also includes color contrast, lightness contrast and saturation contrast.

Purity comparison

The brightness of a color depends on the single degree of light emitted by this hue. When different colors are put together, their contrast is different. All colors with monochromatic light characteristics that can be distinguished by human eyes have a certain vividness.

The pure color of a certain tone is gradually added to the achromatic color in proportion to form a purity series consisting of several color levels.

We are also divided into three grades: high purity, medium purity and low purity, that is, solid color and colors close to solid color are high purity grades, and colors close to gray are low purity grades, with a medium purity grade in the middle. In addition, the three levels of color combine with each other to form a sharp contrast-the main color is high purity color, and the background color and embellishment color are medium purity and low purity color; Gray contrast-the main color is low purity color, and the foil and embellishment colors are high purity and medium purity color-the main color is medium purity color, and other colors are close to medium purity color; Fresh and weak contrast-the main color is high purity color, and other colors are color purity combinations close to high purity color.

Cold and warm contrast
