Cool Colors: Blues, purples, greens. Create calm, receding effects. Examples: blue sweet peas, blue petunias.
Warm Colors: Reds, oranges, yellows. Create excitement, advancing effects. Examples: yellow marigolds, orange snapdragons. Combining colors from the same temperature group (cool + cool, or warm + warm) creates harmony.

This question deals with color harmony in garden design.
Statement (I): A soft or cool harmony can be achieved by using blue colours available in sweet pea, China asters and petunias.
This statement is true.
Cool colors on the color wheel include blues, greens, and violets. These colors tend to recede visually and create a sense of calm, peace, and spaciousness.
Sweet pea, China asters, and petunias are all available in various shades of blue, lavender, and purple, which are cool colors. Using these together, or with other cool colors like white or soft pinks, can create a soft and cool color harmony. Statement (II): A warm harmony can be achieved by using yellow antirrhinum with orange dimorphotheca or yellow marigold with orange antirrhinum. This statement is also true.
Warm colors on the color wheel include reds, oranges, and yellows. These colors tend to advance visually and create a sense of excitement, energy, and warmth.
Yellow and orange are adjacent on the color wheel and are both warm colors. Combining them creates an analogous warm harmony, which is generally pleasing and vibrant. Antirrhinum (snapdragon), dimorphotheca (African daisy), and marigold are all available in shades of yellow and orange. Both statements accurately describe principles of color harmony in gardening. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.

Color-wheel approach: On a standard color wheel, blue, violet and their tints are cool hues that visually recede and read as calm and soft, so combining the blue-toned forms of sweet pea, China asters and petunias correctly produces a soft/cool harmony, confirming Statement (I). Yellow and orange sit adjacent to each other on the wheel, making them analogous warm hues; pairing yellow antirrhinum with orange dimorphotheca, or yellow marigold with orange antirrhinum, is a textbook analogous warm-color combination, confirming Statement (II). Both statements correctly apply standard color-harmony principles used in garden and flower-bed design.
