Colour

Warm colours = yellow and orange are soothing and restful.
Green = refreshing.
Blues = cold and hostile.
Contrasting colours like blue and yellow or red and green make a composition more eye catching. Colours that complement such as red and yellow are more gentle and atmospheric. Warm colours advance so they work well in the foreground while cool colours (green and blue) recede so they make better backgrounds.
Red is the most potent of all colours and will dominate a composition even if those areas are very small in the frame.
