the eolors of nature which we imitate
in our curtains and rugs and pictures
COMA from this one single source -the
rainbow,
Just to prove it to myself I bought
a box of paints -.six colors there were,
these of the rainbow, But I could
have done as well with three -the red,
the yellow and the. blue, Those are
the primary colors, green, orange and
purple are made, by mixing together
any two of the primaries. Yellow and
blue make green. Yellow and red
make orange, Mix red with blue and
you have purple,
Between each of the six rainbow
colors there is another hue made of
equal parts of the color en either side,
So the six colors ofthe rainbow are
increased to twelve.
NATURE'S USE 05' COLOR.
Take the primary and secondary
color familiea and see how nature uses
them. There is red, that hot, heavy
color with the power to warm a room
and the power to make it -shrink. It
has a hidden quality too of stimulat-
ing action in those who live in it. Too
much red is dangerous. Red color is
like red pepper -important, but to be
used sparingly, Spots of it are splen-
did -the daring flash of a redbird,
