HINTS

Rose red cannot be put in contact with the rosiest
complexions withou', causing them to lose some of their
freshness. Dark red is less objectionable for certain
complexions than rose red, because, being higher
than this latter, it tends to impart whiteness to
them in consequence of contrast of tone.—Green
Drapery : A delicate green is, on the contrary,
favourable to all fair complexions,. which are deficient
in rose, and which may have more imparted to
them without inconvenience ; but it is not so favourable
to complexions that are more red than rosy, nor to those
that have a tint of orange mixed with brown, because
the red they add to this tint will be of a brick red
hue. In the latter case a dark green will be less ob-
jectionable than a delicate green.— Yellow Drapery :
Yellow imparts violet to a fair skin, and in
.this
view it is less favourable than delicate green. To
those skins which are more yellow than orange i4l
imparts white ; but this combination is very dull
and heavy for a fair complexion. When the skin is
tinted more with orange than yellow, we can make it
roseate by neutralising the yellow ; it produces this effect
upon the black-haired type, and it is thus that it suits bru-
nettes.—Violet Draperies : Violet, the complementary of
yellow, produces contrary effects ; thus, it imparts some
greenish yellow to fair complexions ; it augments the yel-
low tint of yellow and orange skins. The little blue
there may be in a complexion it makes green. Violet,
then, is one of the least favourable colours to the skin, at
least when it is not sufficiently deep to whiten it by con-
, trast of ton e.—Blue Drapery : Blue imparts orange, which
is susceptible of allying itself favourably to white and
the light flesh tints of fair complexions, which have
, already a more or less determined tint of this colour.
Blue is, then, suitable to most blondes, and, in this case,
justifies its reputation. It will not suit brunettes, since
they have already too much of orange. Orange
Drapery : Orange is too brilliant to be elegant ; it makes
fair complexions blue, whitens those who have an
orange tint, and gives a green hue to those of a
yellow tint. White napery : Drapery of a lustre-
less white, such as cambric muslin, assorts well with
a fresh complexion, of which it relieves the rose colour ;
but it is unsuitable to complexions which have a disagree-
able tint, because white always exalts all colours by rais-
ing their tone ; consequently, it is unsuitable to those
skins which, without having this disagreeable tint, very
nearly approach it. Very light white draperies, such as
muslin, plaited or point lace, have an entirely different
aspect.—Black Drapery : Black draperies, lowering
the tone of the colours with which they are in juxta-
position, whiten the skin ; but if the vermillion or rosy
parts are to a certain point distant from the drapery,
it will follow that, although lowered in tone, they appear
relatively to the white parts of the skin contiguous to
this same drapery, redder than if the contiguity to the
black did not exist.—ChaTeul on Harmony of Colours.
