Warning Colors

Warning colors are found throughout nature: the bumblebee, the skunk, the cuddle fish, the coral snake,... These animal's bright colors stand out against their environment demanding attention and declaring to predators that they're poisonous and they better think twice about eating them. So, its no wonder that when we want to get people's attention and warn them about certain perils we use the same high contrast, highly visibile, conspicuous color palettes that are often found in nature.
