How color influences a design

v

1:This photo has a warm tone to its orangeish color. The color in the front green bushes is more saturated so it appears closer.

2:The areas with more saturated and contrasting colors grab our attention, that is why the middle of the mandala draws the eye.

3:This image has contrasting warm colors on bottom with cooler colors on top. Without the contrast this photo would not be as interesting.

4:Though this photo is of happy yellow flowers, yellow being an exciting color as well; this photo has a sad feeling to it due to the blueish color. If this was not as blue and cool and had warmer colors this photo would appear much happier and inviting.

5:This photo has a variety of warm colors to it. If perhaps the background and not the flowers had some cooler colors to it perhaps it would put more emphasis on the flowers.

6:This photo is of a white wall with clear windows with white behind them as well and in this photo they appear to be blueish purple color. These cool and dark colors make this photo seem like its raining and has a very sad feeling to it. If I allowed this photo to have more light and less shadows and more sun the image perhaps would be more true in color and not have such a strong gloomy feeling to it.
