Warm and cool colours are often used on relief maps so that

  • A.the two can be printed on one plate
  • B.warmer tones read as nearer or higher
  • C.cooler tones dry faster on the press
  • D.warm tones use less ink than cool ones

Answer: B

Correct answer: warmer tones read as nearer or higher

Warm colours are perceived as advancing and cool ones as receding, so a hypsometric scheme running from green through yellow to brown reads as rising ground without the reader consulting the legend. The convention exploits a property of vision rather than any physical fact about height.
