So I was (and still am) sitting in class and I started to think about why we associate the color red with things being hot and the color blue with things being cool. At first I was like oh well that's simple because fire is hot and its red and water is cool and its blue, but then I was like wait but fire typically turns blue the hotter it gets and water can be really hot too so i don't get it! PLEASE HELP! I AM HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS!

I don't lnow why we do, but it bugs me! my cpu and gpu run hotter in my black/red build then my friends black/blue build I made him. (I know thats not the reason) It drives me insane! and the looks of red makes everything look hot and it almost makes me wanna change my color scheme, but its too late for me now, have too much red to change it

Have a black/red setup with cooler temps then I have, and yes I know that its color isn't really affecting it

Want really mess with your mind, consider this....

 

Red tones are warmer but have a lower color temperature then blue tones which are considered cooler but have a very high color temperature.

Yeah it's really funny actually.  "Colour temperature" as it is talked about in photography, and so on is based on the fact that a black body object will emit a certain range of visible light depending on its actual temperature.  The sun is what we consider "white" since its emission curve causes a fairly even balance of all the visible colours, but cooler objects emit light which is more red, and hotter objects emit light which appears more blue.  What is funny is that - in contrary to this - we consider reds to be "warm colours" and blues to be "Cool colours" xD yes it's all very messed up...

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
