That is to say. any color thai is at nil bright and alluring. Perhaps it is just as well fur the peace of mind of the general run of humanity that such is the case. Otherwise, if we ran riot with the shrieking pigments that sometimes seem to lit our mood, the world would look like a madhouse. And yet, color is one of the greatest delights of our lives, whether we know it or not.

With vermilion ver-milion next to it. it suddenly lives and breathes. Combine it. however, with the cold glacial feeling of the various blues and it retires within itself and ceases to delight us.

We may not realize it but these tones are direct complements comple-ments of red and help to accentuate its beauties.
