 i.s always cool, e\en in the summer sky, 

 not to ni(>idion bein^ cold, as in the 

 stormy winter sky. (ireen is always cool,

Important Distinctions in Colors. 



We may coii(du<Ie. then, that the redj? 

 and yellows are tin' warm colors, whih- 

 the j^reens ;iiul nmsl bhu's are cool colors, 

 anil vi(det is cidd. This .statement nuist 

 l)e t.akeii ;is referring to those colors 

 when they most nearly appro.aidi the pure 

 tyjie. .\s they are mixed with colors of 

 the ojiposite trait as rejxard.s e<dor life, 

 they .are toned down or up to appro.ach 

 the opposite cdmlition. J'or cxamide, a 

 j)ur(>, warm led. which is i|uit(' well typi- 

 lied in thr lumsevclt carn.ation, cmdd 

 be mailc mu<li colder .and less attractive 

 by the introduction of blue The result 

 would be .'I dull ]iurple that nobody c;ires 

 for. Ur, til illu.str.ate the other ji.art of 

 the st.'ilrmriit, a li.ark, richly cnlorcd vio- 

 let will sell much more (|uiikly tli.an a 

 j)uny liL;lit blue nnc. which lacks so much 

 of the warm red clement, tnr pui'ple ur 

 violet is made by cnmbinin;.' red and 

 Lino. 



.Any intense cidur hisis it.s tone and 

 quality to the eye after steady looking; 

 in a stroiif^j !i;^'ht. llow often, \\lien work 

 requires one to lnok const.anlly on the 

 one color of .-i ]^,e;icon or * raij^ (-.arna- 

 tion, it will become mtal cidor to the 

 tired ojitic nerve! T.ook at something 

 else for a wliile and the color will return 

 at the first jilance. Thend'ore, in deco- 

 r.atini^ do nut. mass an inteii.se cidor in 

 larijje, unbroken ^'roiijis under a strong 

 li;.dit. P.reak up the m.ass by atmospheric 

 spaces, or add foliage, its own if pos- 

 silde, or subdue the light.
