If you want someone to feel warm, you dress them in a warm color and put a warm light on them and you get the picture. Sometimes, all that needs pushing a little bit to help tell the story. ↗

A poet can write about a man slaying a dragon, but not about a man pushing a button that releases a bomb. ↗
