118 ON COLOUR. Paet I. 



la. Orange and blue. (See Blue No. 4.) 



2. Orange and horsechesnut harmonise very agreeably. (See Sect. 



XVII. Blue, B 6a, F 5.) 



3. Orange and brown harmonise very agreeably. 



4. Orange and purple (or red-purple) harmonise very agreeably as 



centre .(stamens) and petals of the Jacobcea, or Senecio. 



5. Orange and blue-purple (or puce) harmonise. 



6. Orange and green harmonise very agreeably, as the flower and 



leaves of Coreopsis Drummondii. 



7. Orange and white wanting, but light up well by candlelight. 



8. Orange and gold harmonise by analogy, but wanting. Orange will 



not take the place of gold, and an orange ground is poor and 

 dead compared to one of gold. 

 8a.Orange and yellow wanting by analogy. (See Yellow, No. 11.) 



9. Orange and red harmonise by analogy, but wanting. 



10. Orange and salmon-colour wanting by analogy. 



11. Orange and crimson rich; but wanting. (See Sect. XVII. Blue, 



A 4 ; E 6 ; F 2, 3.) 



12. Orange and slate-colour disagreeable. 



13. Orange and lilac disagreeable. 



14. Orange and grey disagreeable. 



15. Orange and drab wanting. 



16. Orange and chesnut wanting. 



17. Orange and silver wanting, but lights up at night. Silver is so 



seldom required for ornamentation that I do not think it neces- 

 sary to consider its combination with colours. 



Salmon-colour. (See Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Green.) 



Red- Orange (red-lead orange) differs very much from the yellow orange 

 above. (In flowers, the pistil of the saffron crocus.) 



1. Red-orange and black, wanting, and very inferior to yellow orange 



with black. 



2. Red-orange and blue harmonise. 



3. Red-orange and brown wanting by analogy, 



4. Red-orange and purple wanting (and by analogy, if a red-purple). 



Bed. (See Blue, Yelloiu, Orange, Purple, Black.) Red is less suited 

 for ornamentation than scarlet, and crimson. (In flowers it is 

 the colour of the original Verbena Melindris.) 



la. Red and green wanting. (See Sect. XVII. Blue, B 2 ; C 1, 8 ; E 1, 

 2; F 1.) When the red approaches to pink, a discord; when 

 the red has a scarlet hue and the green is of a bright and rather 

 yellow hue the combination is less disagreeable than when 

 the latter is a blue-green ; and though this may be contrary
