How can colour temperature create an illusion of depth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Warm colours may feel forward and cool colours may feel backward
The governing concept is warm-cool colour temperature as a spatial cue. In many compositions, warm colours such as reds and oranges appear to advance, while cool colours such as blues and blue-greens may recede, especially when contrast and surrounding colours support that reading. Thus option A is correct, although it is an illusion rather than an absolute rule. B is too absolute, while C and D deny other valid depth cues.
