Happy May Day!
Two weeks ago, I showed you the difference between "cool" and "warm" colors on the subtractive color wheel. Then, last week, I offered you inspiration with a list of flowers that fall under the "cool" color category. This week, it's all about "warm" flowers - yellows, oranges, reds, and pinks! These colors are abundant in nature's flowers, so it's easy to find just the right tint or shade you're looking for.
