The colour wheel can be split in half with half the colours being warm colours and the other half is cool colours. Warm colours include red, orange and yellow and cool colours are blue and green (including all their tones, shades tints and tertiary colours). Purple can be a grey area as it is a combination of red and blue which is both warm and cool. Purple's tertiary colours, on the other hand, are definitely divided blue-purple is cool and red-purple is warm. According to the site where I took my images from purple is in cool colours.

The colour wheel can also be split into 3 colour schemes:
Complementary colours- these colours are directly opposite one another on the colour wheel these colours contrast one another and pop when used together, for example blue and orange.
Split complementary- it is the same as complimentary but it is a hue and instead of the hue on the opposite side of the colour wheel it's the two colours on either side of the complementary colour for example complementary colours would be blue and orange but split complementary would be blue, red-orange and yellow-orange.
Analogous colours- are three colours that are right next to each other on the colour wheel, for example blue, blue-green and green.
Triadic colours- these are three colours that are evenly spaced out on the colour wheel and are bright together, for example blue, red and yellow.Monochromatic- this consists of a hue, a shade of the hue and a tint of the same hue.
