§55 XVII. BLUE, THREE COLOURS. 131 



colours combined with it, and of a bright hue. (See p. 16.) 

 Dark greens are only to be used in very exceptional cases, 

 as accessories, or in particular positions. In the following 

 lists I have only catalogued the colours, stating their effect 

 when combined; their arrangement will depend on the 

 design; and the agreement of each colour with another in 

 contact with it, will be seen in the lists in Sect. XVI. 



Blue. (See Yellow, Orange, Purple, Black, Wliite, Grey.) 



A (3 colours). 



1. Blue and red and yellow harmonise, if in proper proportion ; but 



there are other more agreeable combinations with a greater 

 number of colours, as C 5, E 1, and in these three gold is much 

 richer than yellow for ornamentation. 



2. Blue and scarlet and yellow harmonise well. (See PI. iv. fig. 1.) 



3. Blue and crimson and yellow harmonise well. 



4. Blue and crimson and orange harmonise well. 



5. Blue and crimson and gold harmonise well; very rich in furniture. 

 G. Blue and crimson and scarlet harmonise, but wanting by analogy 



of the last two. (See C 12 ; F 5.) 



7. Blue and scarlet and purple harmonise, but wanting by analogy. 



(See B 7 and C 5, 11, 21 ; D 3, 7, 9 ; E 1, 3, 4, 5, 8; and F 1, 

 5, 7, 8.) They were the three colours used by the Israelites. 

 ("Ex. xxv. 4; xxxvi. 12.) They were apparently on a white 

 linen ground, and had gold "tashes," and gold thread worked in. 

 7a. Blue and crimson and purple harmonise, but wanting. (See B 6 b ; 

 C 9a; D, 4, 9, 10 ; E 8 ; F 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.) 



8. Blue and scarlet and green harmonise, but wanting, and the quan- 



tity of the green should be very small ; they want yellow or 

 orange. (See B 2, 10; C 1, 8, 11, 12, (22) ; D 1, 2, 7; E 1, 

 2, 3, 7; and F 1, 9. I rarely refer to those which do not accord.) 



9. Blue and crimson and green wanting, not agreeable, and still less 



so if on a black ground : they would be improved by orange ; or 

 by black and yellow ; or by scarlet and yellow. (See C 12 ; 

 D 8 ; E 7 ; F 2, 3.) 



10. Blue and red and white harmonise, but cold. 



11. Blue and scarlet and white harmonise. 



, 12. Blue and red and black wanting and dull; they require yellow 



or orange. 

 Ul 13. Blue and red (or scarlet) and orange harmonise, but wanting; the
