Have you ever thought about your images’ impact on viewers based on your photos’ color schemes? If you search online for color psychology, you will find several articles and studies on the subject.
For this week’s challenge, I invite you to look at your photos or capture new images showing how warm colors appear in your world and their emotional significance to you. Hopefully, the images I share here will spark your imagination. Tell us how your images made you feel when you captured them. You can concentrate on a single color or show a variety of colors, but please make warm colors the main focus of your post.
What are warm colors?
Although the classic warm colors are red, orange, and yellow, related hues include gold, beige, creamy neutrals, brown, and tan. Think of warm colors as sunshine, for example.
Warm colors bring warmth, energy, and vibrancy to a photo. They tend to pop out at you. When I spotted this scene, I was drawn to its warmth in the same manner those pelicans were flying toward the sunlight.
Warm colors may also evoke passion, love, joy, and excitement. A few years ago, I could not help but feel love in the air with this Christmas display.
Warm colors also make a photo feel cozy and welcoming. The subtle tan hues and how cozy these two French bulldogs nestle around each other made me feel warm and protected.
Even in marketing, companies take advantage of warm colors to help sell their products. We do not think about it, but maybe Ferrari has known this all along.
Warm colors are also found in architecture. Look at this view inside the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. As large as it is, the library feels more intimate because of the warm tones in the room.
When it comes to nature, there are plenty of warm colors around. Flowers, wildlife, and autumn foliage are just a few examples.
Using warm colors
How can you grab warm colors to make your photos more eye-popping? Besides the examples shown, here are some ideas:
- Catch the golden hour, that magic time around sunrise and sunset.
- Focus on details like a macro or a single wildflower.
- A slight touch of warm color can draw attention and impact your photos.
- Use your imagination and creativity!
Sofia challenged us to think about day and night for last week’s challenge. You responded with wonderful images of a day’s cycle. I especially loved the variety of excellent interpretations you displayed and your exceptional creativity. Your photos were beautiful and provided a great response to that challenge. Join us next week when Anne introduces a new challenge.

Margaret, that is so nice of you to find time in your busy schedule to post an entry to the challenge. I am very thankful for your doing so.
margaret21
Aw thanks. It was fun. I’m only sorry not to have given it a little more time.
Egídio Leitão
Margaret, no reason to be sorry. Your post was thoughtful and very nice. I felt like walking down the streets of Barcelona through your photos.
margaret21
Result! I’m so glad. Thanks!
Egídio Leitão
I left a comment in your post, but I’m not sure if it’s waiting approval or WP decided not to post it. I’ll have to check back.

Thanks for hosting. I loved the warm glow settling around the bulldogs and the flower is exquisite. I’ve had a bit of a panic because I somehow posted mine before I had written it! All is pretty much sorted out now, I hope, though it’s a bit more concise than I was planning. It’s here: https://susanrushton.net/2024/02/09/warm/

Such a wonderful palette of warm colors, Edigio. The burning sky view in the header is certainly my favorite, along with the Ferrari and LBJ Presidential Library 🙂
Egídio Leitão
Hammad, thank you for your kind words and feedback.

Thank you for hosting this week! Your photos are wonderful! I love the Texas sunset and all your vibrant colors in your other shots.

Isadora, your feedback is very much appreciated. The heart arches was a display during a Christmas event here in town. Indeed it is appropriate for this Valentine’s month. Thank you for the comments and link. I’m happy you are participating in the challenge.
Inside the Mind of Isadora
It must have been a beautiful walk through the arches. February is my favorite month because of Valentine’s day. It’s the romantic in me. It doesn’t hurt to have a hubby who has given me his heart for 57 years. I’m happy you enjoyed my comment.

Egídio Leitão
Obrigado, Rebecca. I’ll look forward to your post. Thanks for your feedback about the challenge.
Terri Webster Schrandt
What a great theme this week, as many of us in the northern hemisphere are looking at landscapes full of snow or cold, gray days, that don’t have an ounce of warmth to be seen! I’m sharing a couple of warm color shots of Antelope Canyon for Wordless Wednesday tomorrow. Thank you for co-hosting L-A, Egidio!
Egídio Leitão
Terri, thank you very much for your comments. For me, this theme also brought some much needed warmth. I’m looking forward to your Antelope Canyon photos. I loved visiting those canyons a few years ago. I almost used one of our photos in the challenge.
Terri Webster Schrandt
How cool you visited Antelope Canyon! I’m sure you will enjoy these pics. I shared a few more in other posts. Have a great evening!
Leya
A flying start, Egidio! And sorry I am late as usual…but life is turbulent and has been for a long time. I am here, though, and loving your warmth and colours. This is a fantastic theme and a gorgeous post – as always from you. Excellent photography and they are all my favourites – Texas Hill and your dogs I believe are the warmest ones to my heart! Excellent light work and of course I must mention your aspen trees(?), our birch trees also turn into gold in the autumn. A super start – and I didn’t expect anythin less ♥
Egídio Leitão
Ann-Christine, comments such as your are a joy to read. I’m so glad you liked the theme and post. Thanks, in particular, for the feedback on the dogs and Hill Country photos. You are correct: those are aspen trees in Colorado. Thank you for the warm welcome!
Marsha
Hi Egidio, Thanks for this lovely challenge. I love the bull dogs. That is the coziest picture – warmth not only in colors but in composition. 🙂 I also love the micro flower with the green background. Just beautiful. I’ll have a link in my Wednesday Quote Challenge tomorrow. See you soon. 🙂
Egídio Leitão
Marsha, thank you so much for your compliment. I’m happy you liked the post and the challenge. I’ll look forward to your post tomorrow.
Marsha
Thank you. I have never seen an a written with a tilde over it. How do you say it? I guess it is Portuguese.
Egídio Leitão
The “ã” is typical of Portuguese, Marsha. I’m originally from Brazil — as you might have guessed by my blog title. The tilde makes the vowel sound nasal.
Marsha
It sounds like it is lovely. I speak both French and Spanish – not well, but passably. Once a Portuguese radio station was on while I was driving. It made me crazy trying to understand it. I would catch a familiar word in either French or Spanish, then the rest was impossible to understand. I strained my brain trying. It’s never been the same since! 🙂
Egídio Leitão
What you have experienced, Marsha, is a great example of Portuguese: to my ears it also sounds like Spanish and French. Those nasal sounds you hear in French is what was throwing you off in Portuguese. We have those same sounds.
Marsha
It’s very beautiful, but super confusing only because I have a minute amount of knowledge. 🙂
Sylvia Bacon
This is a great post, Egido! Your examples of warm colors are perfect plus your tips on how to catch these colors are very helpful. I love the beautiful picture of your two French bulldogs! The soft lighting really sets the mood and the dogs have such wonderful expressions on their faces. Here is my post https://mycolorfulexpressions.com/lens-artists-photo-chllenge-285-warm-colours/ . Thank you for a great topic.
Egídio Leitão
Sylvia, thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. I am happy that you liked the challenge and posted your link here. I’ll go look at it now.
Ritva Sillanmäki Photography
Sorry for the late comment, I have been busy during the weekend. And lazy uptil now. the header is glorious, what a absolutely gorgeous display of warm colors. Your post shows a great diversity in topics with warm colors, skillfully taken sharp images. the header and the last flower shot are my favorites. Ferrari, well yes. Kimi Räikkönen is the last driver to win the F1 championship with Ferrari 🙂 He has a summer house in Kirkkonummi where I live, so nearly a neighbor 😂
Egídio Leitão
Ritva, you often make me laugh with your wonderful sense of humor. Thanks for the comments and compliment. I also liked your note about Kimi. I once saw him up close during a Formula 1 event here in Austin. So, that makes me almost like having visited you!

I can’t see any pingbacks on your post. The only links are those which are there in the comments. Is it just me?
Egídio Leitão
No, it’s not you. No matter how much I have tried, pingbacks are not workin. I have had them enabled since my site’s launch. It is very unfortunate to say the least. I’ve contacted WP, but their customer support is dismal.

congratulations on your first lens-artist challenge Egidio. your photos are stunning especially the big sky sunset and the three pelicans flying across the ocean scene. and of course, i couldn’t help but stare at the beautiful Ferrari!

Interesting challenge. I loved “Three amigos” for the interesting moment you captured, “Merli and Nico” not just for the portrait but the warm browns, the black eyed Susan for the exquisite details. Did the colours determine my reaction? For “Merli and Nico” the colour was definitely part of the attraction. For the others, I couldn’t say.
Here is my response: https://anotherglobaleater.wordpress.com/2024/02/05/gold-under-annapurna/

Your examples take us on a journey of breath-taking, awe, awwww as in doggie cuddles, heart-warming moments, and smiles, even on the car, plus the simplicity of one color of yellow seen from a distance and up close. So many moments to warm us all. Well done! Thanks for the inspiration and for hosting this week’s challenge.

I have the pingback issues often. It’s a joy when they all work and it’s nice to be welcomed to share a link when they don’t.

Beautiful images perfectly depicting warm colors. I love the Texas Hill Country. Fredericksburg was on our short list of places to settle down. Alas, we chose AZ due to family.

What a splendid challenge, and you’ve set the bar high with your shots. I may or may not be able to join in. I don’t know why coming back from holiday is such an impossibly busy time, but somehow … it is.
Egídio Leitão
Thank you so much, Margaret. I hope you get plenty of rest. Maybe you will find time to post one single photo. Enjoy! Like you, we always feel like we need another vacation after coming back from a vacation.

Just curious, but I don’t see ANY pingbacks in the comments, only links that users have manually inserted. Do you have pingbacks enabled, or do you choose not to?
Egídio Leitão
John, I have checked and re-checked all settings for pingbacks. I have always had pingbacks and trackbacks enabled in my site. I looked again to make sure it had not changed. I’m baffled as to why pingbacks are not showing. It may be time (a little late, though) to check with the folks in WP. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Wow! What a gorgeous flower bouquet you chose to start your post. That’s a beautiful bouquet. And speaking of bouquets, the bokeh and depth of field in the vineyard photo are stunning. Your photos captured warm colors beautifully!
eklastic
Thank you. I’m glad you like my pics – particularly since it’s your first prompt for LAPC. It was a difficult one – because it meant picking and leaving out.
Egídio Leitão
I had the same issues while selecting what to include and leave out. I did not want my post to be an endless gallery of photos.
eklastic
For me it’s actually a good exercise to cull photos (also, sometimes, to cull words).
eklastic
I love the photo of the three pelicans (at least I think that’s what they are) and the two dogs. But the colours in all your photos are spot on, a wonderful antidote for grey winter weather (although crisp winter weather has its merits, too!)
Egídio Leitão
Thanks so much for your feedback. You got it right: those are pelicans. I am really happy that the colors are helping everyone experiencing winter, as we are in the north hemisphere. I appreciate your feedback.
pattimoed
What a wonderful post, Egidio. Your photos are gorgeous and truly inspiring. 🙂 Of course I was drawn to the French bulldogs (I’m a big dog fan) as well as your brillant 3 amigos shot and that stunning black-eyed Susan. You’ve explained the impact of “warmth” beautifully in words and images.
Egídio Leitão
Patti, thanks for your reassuring feedback. I appreciate that. I’m a dog fan, too. Merli is my nephew’s dog. Nico is his brother. Thanks again for your comment.

Merli and Nico….perfect names. 🙂 🙂

Tina Schell
A gorgeous post and a fun challenge this week Egidio! My favorites are the bulldogs and the black-eyed susan. But I loved them all. It will be fun to see this week’s responses. By the week’s end we should all be feeling warm all over!!
Egídio Leitão
Tina, I hope your wishes do come true. I’m glad you liked the photos, especially the bulldogs. Merli is my youngest nephew’s dog. We love when we see all of them.

Wind Kisses
Thank you for this fantastic and engaging challenge, Egidio. Your stamp of excellence shines in all the photos and I love the way you presented it. Warm colors, do indeed, generate feelings as you so eloquently share. The coziness of Merli and Nico makes me want to snuggle in with them. And I love the simple elegance of the Black-eyed Susan. I think what makes the post so grand, in addition to the photos, is the variations you provide to inspire all of us. Well done, my friend. So glad you have joined us.
Egídio Leitão
Donna, once again thanks for the warm welcome. I also thank you for your kindness and friendship. As I mentioned to Sofia, Merli is very dear to us. He’s my youngest nephew’s dog.

I love your images and challenge to notice and use warm colors Egidio. The sunset is stunning, the library conveys warmth, and the dogs feel cozy. I can’t wait to see all the warm photos from the group.

Great theme, GREAT great photos. Texas Hill, Frenchie, and Ferrari are among my many faves. (Website login was a bit difficult. I’ve never seen one that offered a QR code before. I think I’m in now. 🤷♂️ )

Thanks for your response, John. Terrific entry, John. The fire sequence is great, and I especially liked the fireplace and reflections. The crayons puzzle was full of warm colors, too. Great post.

Great set of photos. The Canyonlands NP image is gorgeous. And that road photo is outstanding! Thanks for contributing more, John.
André
I love your sunsets. Both, the opener as well as the three gulls. 👍
Egídio Leitão
André, much gratitude for your comment. Not being a morning person, sunsets are easier for me to capture. The one with the three pelicans was an exception: it is a sunrise. When I travel, I sometimes do get up early, especially when I’m on the beach. Thanks again.
André
Very nice, Egídio.
