 duced that where color_plays a large part, the dom- 

 inant notes should possess variety, with enough sxt 

 the modifier present to harmonize them, and pjill 

 them together. This refers of course only to col- 

 ors of high intensity, for the duller tones are sel- 

 dom inharmonious in combination. This is be-

 ity. 



In the design chapter it was said that the final 

 result of every design scheme should be a balance. 

 The balance applies to color as well as to form. 

 This does not necessarily imply that the same color 

 note must be repeated on opposite sides of the de- 

 sign, — ^there is no chance for subtlety in such a 

 treatment, — ^but it means that the color accents of 

 whatever sort, though quite dissimilar, must form 

 a balance.
