A color wheel that is used for mixing colors for creating art purposes consists of 3 primary colors, 3 secondary colors, 6 intermediate colors, and the neutrals- being black, white and the shades of gray -

The three primary colors are colors that cannot be mixed. They are natural pigments that all colors come from. They are- Yellow, Red, and Blue.

The secondary colors are the colors that are created when two primary colors are mixed in equal portions. The secondary colors are: Green, Violet, and Orange.

Yellow and Red= Orange

Red and Blue= Violet

Blue and Yellow= Green

The intermediate colors are created when a secondary color and a primary color are mixed.

They are Yellow Green, Blue Green, Blue Violet, Red Violet, Red Orange, and Yellow Orange.

A color wheel is created by forming a triangle with Yellow at the top and Blue and Red placed at the other two points. The secondary colors are placed between the two colors used to create them - Orange would be found between the Yellow and the Red points and so on.

The Intermediate colors would be located between the colors that are used to create them. - Red Orange would be found between Red and Orange and so on.

This is easy to understand but hard to explain without A visual color wheel.

Anyway every color on one side of the wheel is warm and the other side is cool. The colors ranging from yellow green to violet are cool and the colors from yellow to red violet are warm.

The complete answer to your question is: Its a cool color. although black isn't really a color.

The cool colors are:

Brown, as well as black or white, can be either a warm or a cool color. However, if you are doing a warm/cool contrast work, it is advised to blend brown/black with another color rather than use it pure.

Red is a warm colour it sort of represents happy because its like a Christmas colour. Cooler colours would be like baby colours or something along the lines of blue which is ment to be a cold colour which is why you see a lot of blue and white in winter pictures and stuff like that.
