HOWTO CHOOSE COLORSIN DRESS.

HOWTO CHOOSE COLORSIN DRESS.
ny OUR '' FASHION EnIroR.''
Ever since fashion was known at all
that is almost as far back as mother Eve
some ladies have had a peculiar knack
in choosing the colors for their Dress
This enviaOIe faculty they have general
ly been unable TO explain. 1t has been
reserved for a Frenchman, NJ. Chevreul,
to elucidate the ubjcct. by discovering
what he calls Tie lu1 Of Simultaneous con-
trGSt Of cOlCrS.
NJ. Chevre urs attention was tirstdircc-
ted to the problem, by observing in the
GObelin's tapestries, that the blacks,
though known TO be the most perfect of
that color made, frequently loohed dingy,
in consequence of the color placed next to
them. Pursuing his researches, he found
out that every color had certain other
color, which made it seem tame, if placed
next to it. This brought him to the dis
covery that every color has what he calls
its complementary. In other words, il
we look at red it tends to diffuse over the
surrounding space green; if at. green,
red if at orange, blue; il at blue, orange;
if at greenish-yellow violet if at indigo,
orange yellow ; if at orange-yellow, indi,
go. Each of these colors are compile
mentary to that one which it thus tends
to diffuse around it.
From this ARISES Il law of color, which
NJ. Chevreul calls the law of Simultaneous
contrast of coLors. Itis, that when we re.
gard attenIively two colored objects at the
same time, neither of them appears of the
color proper to it, (that is to say, such as
it would appear if viewed separately bu,
of tint resulting from the proper color
and the complementary of tho color of the
other object and that, if the colors OF
the juxtaposed objects are rot of the
same tone. the hghtest tone will be
lowered, and the darkest tone be
heightened. Thus, if we place red and
yellow side by side, we find that the red
losing red, appears bluer; in other words
the red incliues TO purple, and, the yel
low to green. If we take red and blue,
the red will incline to orange, aud the
blue to green. If we take yellow and
blue, the former will incline to orange
and the latter to violet. The fundamen,
tai reason of this phenomenon being a.
we have before said, that each color tends
to diffuse its complementary hue over the
color or colors placed next to it.
When this law Of color is understood
the adoption of colors to the complexion
to the different parts of the dress, become.
a matter comparatively easy. A few spe
ci6c examples, however, will best show
how what great changes are produced BY
the contrast of colors.
Red and WhIe.-G Green, the compile
mentary of red, is added to the white :
the red appears more brilliant and deeper
Orange and Wtite Blue, the compile
mentary of orange, is added to the white
The orange appear brighter and deeper.
Green and White Red, the compile
mentary Of blue is added to the white
The blue appears brighter aud deeper.
