Which question analyses the effect of colour?

Correct answer: Are the colours warm, cool, muted, or intense?

Direct answer: C is correct. Analysing colour means looking carefully at the colours used and asking what qualities and effects they produce. Warm colours such as reds, oranges, and yellows may feel active or close, while cool colours such as blues and greens may feel quiet or distant; muted colours are less intense, and vivid colours attract stronger attention. These are useful tendencies, not unchangeable laws, because context and neighbouring colours matter. A asks where the paper was bought, which is information about materials or history, not the visual effect of colour. B asks about the frame’s price, which is a financial fact and does not analyse colour. D is unrelated to the artwork. C is correct because it asks about temperature and intensity, two important ways to describe colour before explaining mood, focus, space, or atmosphere. A good answer should name the observed colours and connect them to their effect rather than simply saying “the colours are nice.” Memory cue: colour analysis asks “what colours, how strong, and what feeling do they create?”
