138 ON COLOUR. Paet I. 



2. Orange and green and blue and scarlet harmonise. (See above, 

 Al.) 



C (5 colours). 



1. Orange and drab and blue and scarlet and black haiunonise. 



2. Orange and blue and scarlet and black and white harmonise.* 



(See Blue, D 2; E 2, 3, 5, 8; F 1, 8, 9.) 



3. Orange and blue and crimson and white and purple harmonise. 



(See Blue, D 10 ; F 3, 6.) 



For other combinations with orange, see Blue. 



The lighter hues, as canary, straw, lemon-colour, buff, &c. 

 need not be mentioned in combination with other colours, as 

 they are of inferior power, and can only be used as accessories 

 in compositions which are too numerous to be specified. 



Red. (See Blue, Yelloiv, Grey.) Combinations with scarlet are prefer- 

 able to those with red. (See Scarlet.) 



A (3 colours). 



1. Red and green and orange (or gold) harmonise, but wanting. 



2. Red and green and yellow wanting and poor. 



3. Red and black and orange (or gold) wanting. 



4. Red and purple and yellow wanting. 



5. Red and purple and orange wanting. 



6. Red and black and white wanting. The bad effect produced by 



black on red, and red on black, is partly removed by the black 

 and white contrasting and giving to each other their full power. 

 The same may be said of black and scarlet and white ; and 

 by substituting black for blue in our union jack, the heavy 

 effect of these three colours is very evident. 



7. Red and black and green wanting. The black looks of a rusty 



hue, and disagreeable. 



8. Red and black and pink wanting and disagreeable. 



9. Red and white and pink wanting and poor and cold. The white 



is overpowered. 



10. Red and black and yellow (or orange) wanting ; requires blue. 



11. Red and black and gold harmonise, but rather heavy, and wanting. 



12. Red and brown and green wanting and disagreeable. 



13. Red and buff and green wanting and disagreeable. 



14. Red and green and russet discord. (See PI. in. fig. 6.) 



* In all combinations a larger proportion of blue than of any other colour is 

 of course required, but in these the quantity of blue must be increased still 

 more, in order to balance the scarlet, or the crimson, and the orange.
