§55 XVI. BUFF. GOLD. OEANGE. 117 



5. Canary and black harmonise, but the black is too powerful for 

 the canary. 



Straw-colour, and Lemon-colour, and Buff &yq open to the same objection 

 in combination as canary, being overpowered by most colours ; — 

 as is the pale yellow of yellow hawkweed. 



Buff. (See Yellow, Gold, Red, Crimson, Purple, Blue-purple, Lilac, 

 Green, Blue-green, Black, White, Grey, Brown, Chesnut, Drab, 

 Stone.) 



1. Buff and blue harmonise, but buff overpowered by its companion. 



2. Buff and crimson harmonise, but buff overpowered by its com- 



panion. 



3. Buff and scarlet harmonise, but buff overpowered by its com- 



panion. 



4. Buff and purple harmonise, but buff overpowered by its com- 



panion. 



5. Buff and blue- purple harmonise, but buff overpowered by its 



companion. 



6. Buff and chesnut wanting; they would be better with blue, or 



with blue and black, and scarlet. 



Gold. (See Orange, Red, Slate, Brown, Chesnut.) Gold is more 

 beautiful in combination with other colours than yellow, which 

 is harsh ; and it would be impossible to use the same quantity 

 of yellow as gold, either as a ground, or in combination with 

 other colours. (See p. 107.) 



1. Gold and green pleasing harmony. 



2. Gold and blue pleasing harmony. 



3. Gold and crimson rich harmony. 



4. Gold and purple rich harmony. 



5. Gold and scarlet rich harmony, but from greater analogy it is 



inferior to No. 3. 



6. Gold and horsechesnut rich harmony. 



7. Gold and lilac harmonise (as do gold and lavender). (See Lilac, 



A, B, C, D, Sect. XVII.) 



8. Gold and black harmonise. 



8a.Gold and white (see White) harmonise, but wanting. 



9. Gold and yellow wanting by analogy, but light up well by night. 



10. Gold and grey harmonise, but cold and wanting. 



1 1 . Gold and buff wanting by analogy. 



12. Gold and drab wanting and poor. 



Orange. (See Blue, Yelloio, Scarlet, Drab, Stone-colour.) Orange is the 

 colour of the fruit, and of the Coreopsis Drummondii, &c. 



1. Orange and black harmonise better than yellow and black.
