COLOR HARMONY
73

A Primrose Tone of Wall. Tones of snuff brown, medium yellow green, and lavender may be selected.

A Neutral or Drab Wall. Shades of olive green, Venetian red, and lilac go well together.


BROWN.

This color is perhaps the best wearing color for woodwork. There are infinite tints and shades, from sober to rich, from cool to warm. Blue agrees especially with brown.

Deep brown, light blue, and gold go well together.

Light Purple Tone of Brown Wall. The woodwork may be yellow red, with cream mouldings.

A Brown Ingrain Wall. The woodwork may be in two tones, made from indigo blue, with amber mouldings.

A Gold Colored Brown Wall would unite with woodwork of a red tone of purple, with plum colored mouldings, or a warm gray may be used.

Burnt Sienna Brown Tone of Wall. With this, salmon and myrtle harmonize.


GREEN.

This color, so extensive in nature, will agree with all colors, provided they are toned to suit each other, warm or cold, neutral or bright.

An Olive Green Wall will agree with maroon woodwork with a crimson lake, straw or pink tone for the mouldings.

A Medium Green Colored Wall. If two tones of red, a crimson tone and a yellow tone be adopted, the mouldings, if desired, may be a salmon buff.

A Gray Green Wall may have a primrose tone of woodwork, with a scarlet tone for mouldings.

A Moss Green Tone of Wall will associate well with citrine woodwork, and salmon colored panels or mouldings.

A Pea or Leaf Green Wall goes well with a chocolate and a lavender.
